Some species of Bamboo are entirely Wood-y. Tall Wood-y plants makes a forest.
Bananas are entirely herbaceous. Banana trees are not trees. They are Forbs/Herbs. A large collection of tall banana plants is, weirdly enough, a grassland.
Plant classification is weird.

That’s why it took so long to make the full terran plant biome list…

tree is not a taxonomic category! I mean i think there’s some clade call true trees or whatever, but when you see a large plant with a trunk you think tree, regardless of what it descended from. obviously a bamboo lacks a trunk, but so do a lot of things people call trees

But early land plants were seedless herbaceous. Then there were seedless wood-y plants. Then wood-y plants developed seeds. Then seed plants became herbaceous.
This could well be a surviving transitionary genus. I am not sure.

You mean of which transistion? Primordial-herbaceous to wood-y?
