Why is it feminine?
Hierbas is feminine because it descends from Latin "herba," which was feminine in the first declension (nominative singular ending in -a), and Spanish inherited this feminine gender assignment along with the sound changes that transformed the Latin word. The feminine gender persisted because nouns ending in -a in Spanish are overwhelmingly feminine, reinforcing the inherited classification.
