It is not clear to me if "Stem hairiness" is due to an increase in the number of hairs (pubescence) on the stem or if the hairs are longer than normal and thus the stem "appears" to be hairier. Should the definition be changed to stipulate the hairiness measurement or should the name be changed to maybe "stem hair" which to me, seems to fit the current definition better than "hairiness".

This should be on the TO tracker, not the PO one.... See: https://github.com/Planteome/plant-trait-ontology/issues/305
