@lahh375
stayed - past tense of stay
stay - to remain in the same place
She stayed there merely observing.
It didn't clarify how she stayed there, if she stayed standing, sitting, laying, etc.
stood - past tense of stand
stand - have or maintain an upright position, supported by one's feet.
She stood there merely observing.
Meaning she was standing while observing.
I hope this makes sense! :)
