( Herb) A herb is a plant that is valued for flavor, scent, or other qualities.^[1] Herbs are used in cooking, as medicines, and for spiritual purposes.

In American English the initial "h" is normally silent /'?rb/.^{[2][3][Full citation needed]} In standard British English the "h" is pronounced /'h??b/ Also see American and British English pronunciation differences.

Herbs have a variety of uses including culinary, medicinal, or in some cases even spiritual usage. General usage differs between culinary herbs and medicinal herbs. In medicinal or spiritual use any of the parts of the plant might be considered "herbs", including leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, resin, root bark, inner bark, (cambium,) berries and sometimes the pericarp or other portions of the plant.

Culinary use of the term "herb" typically distinguishes between herbs, from the leafy green parts of a plant, and spices, from other parts of the plant, including seeds, berries, bark, root and fruit. Culinary herbs are distinguished from vegetables in that, like spices, they are used in small amounts and provide flavor rather than substance to food.
