Draw a sketch of this twig and label all the following structures: terminal bud, lateral bud, terminal bud scale scars (show several sets of terminal bud scars that are visible on the main stem), leaf scars, vascular bundle scars
Why can a monocot like an iris branch and increase its number of leaves? Is the fact that the shoot is a rhizome with adventitious roots important? Is water transported from one end of the shoot to the other?
