Depends on the herbs your using and for what purpose, some herbs have soft stems such as parsley and basil and can be eaten, some have woody stems such as rosemary and thyme and are not good to eat.
Generally just the leaves of all herbs are used, however stems can be used when flavouring stocks, or as a bed to roast meat, stems can also be used for other purposes for example the woody stems of rosemary can be used as a kebab 'skewer' especially for lamb kebabs.

Fresh cilantro storage?
According to Emeril, you can store a cilantro bunch upright in a glass with some water at the bottom, in your fridge. I'd imagine it would work for parsley as well. And like any fresh herb, make sure it is dry before storing it in your fridge. Wash cilantro in clean water to remove any sand or dirt, and discard any roots and old or bruised leaves. Store fresh cilantro in the refrigerator in a sealed container or wrapped in a slightly damp towel. Use it as early as possible, because it loses flavor and nutrients quickly if kept for longer periods.
