Answer 1

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Woody Wetlands are wetlands where over 20% of the vegetation consist of forested plants or shrub vegetation. In other words over 20% are covered by trees and plants with wooden structures.

The Great Dismal Swamp is an example as it has quite a number of trees and shrubs. Check the attached picture.

Herbaceous Wetlands on the other hand are dominated by plants considered to be herbaceous in nature. This means that they dominated by grass and plants that are not very woody above the ground. The Florida Everglades are an example of this. I have also attached a picture. The Florida Everglades is the one that looks more like grasses.
