Answer 2

Spruce is not considered a softwood because it is an evergreen conifer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Spruce is not considered a softwood. Softwood generally refers to wood from coniferous trees, which have needles and cones. Maple, redwood, and cedar are all examples of softwoods because they come from coniferous trees. Spruce, on the other hand, is an evergreen conifer and therefore falls under the category of softwoods.
