What is a 'tree' compared to a 'shrub'?

A tree is a woody plant and it has a single stem. It normally has a distinct canopy. Maples are a good example of a tree. A shrub also is a woody plant with multiple stems and are usually branching from the ground to create what we would consider your typical bush-looking type plant. An azalea would be an example of a shrub.
