Well, the (often cited) difference is that "Herbs" comes from the leaves of the plant, while "Spices" comes for the other section of the plant. (The parts that can be a Spice are as follows; the root, the stem, the seed, the fruit,the flower or the bark of the plant.)

Yes, sometimes I wonder where the "Herbs" and "Spices" are harvested from which part of the plant. After reading this, I know which part of the plant is used for what purpose.
