The difference between "wo" and "woher" lies in what each word is asking in terms of location and movement:
1. Wo = "Where" (static location) Used to ask where something or someone is located. It refers to a place without any movement involved.
Wo bist du? (Where are you?)
Wo ist mein Buch? (Where is my book?)
2. Woher = "Where from" (origin or source) Used to ask where someone or something comes from. It implies movement or origin.
Woher kommst du? (Where do you come from?)
Woher hast du das? (Where did you get that from?)
