Question

Buds which grow into new shoots are called ____.

• A. Apical buds
• B. Floral buds
• C. Axillary buds
• D. Vegetative buds

Answer 1

The correct option is C Axillary buds

Apical bud is the bud located at the top of the plant. Axil is the angle between the upper side of the stem and a leaf, branch, or petiole. The axillary bud (or lateral bud) is an embryonic shoot located in the axil of a leaf. Axillary buds have the potential to form new shoots and become branches. Vegetative bud is a leaf bud or the bud that contains embryonic leaf. Flower bud is a bud that develops into flower.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
