The woodland tribe was a tribe of carpenters. Their ability to control plants played a big part in it.
Imagine a person speeding up the growth of a tree or bending it unnaturally with their will. That was their skill.
In a battle scenario, they would not be of much help due to their slow speed of plant control. But it didn't mean they were useless.
When they control vines or small shrubs, they can limit the movement of the enemy. Thereby increasing their chances in a battle. And body enhancement was a universally similar technique for all warrior tribes.
A person's physical strength was solely dependent on muscle mass and density. And it was given that they need a strong skeletal structure to bear this strength. Without that base, there is nothing to enhance for full body enhancement. So, the woodland tribe who spent more time with their carpentry was weaker than other small tribes like the stone head tribe that focused on battle.
