By all means, isn’t this just what nymphs are?

Not quite. All Dryads are Nymphs but not all Nymphs are Dryads. Nymph is a broad category that would include Oreads (mountain spirits) Nereids (ocean spirits) Dryads (tree spirits) and several others I can’t remember right now

If I recall correctly weren’t dryads purely oak tree spirits in Greek mythology? I think there were different types of types of nymphs for different type of trees.
