Softwood

Softwood is wood from gymnosperm trees such as conifers. The term is opposed to hardwood, which is the wood from angiosperm trees.

The main differences between hardwoods and softwoods is that the softwoods completely lack vessels (pores).
The main softwood species also have resin canals in their structure.
