Question

what is meant by - internodes do not elongate and axis gets condensed??

what are floral appendages??

Answer 1

Flower is a modified shoot in which elongation of internodes stopped and the apex gets condensed. So, shoot apical meristem converts in to floral meristem. Floral appendages are the main parts of a flower, they are sepals, petals, androecium and gynoecium. Androecium and gynoecium are essential appendages while sepals and petals are non essential appendages.
