Counter removal

So my friend cast {Phytoburst} and was wondering if he could  {Give // Take} the +5/+5 counter and draw 5 cards.

He can't because it doesn't give counters, only +5/+5.

Phytoburst doesn't give counters, counters being something that remains on a creature after the turn they're put on is over. Counters need to be referred to as such by whatever gives them. Phytoburst doesnt
