I got a feel of this growing sunflowers last year. They got quite big, significantly taller than me. They died in autumn as herbaceous plants do, but as I cut them down I noticed the part where the stem meets the root was seriously woody. Like, I could have cut out a small piece and convinced someone it was a piece of wood.

And, conversely, Palm “trees” do not actually have wood—they are just very large stems with lots of layers. Kind of like Ogres.
