Different Types of Shoots

• ADVENTITIOUS SHOOT
• New shoots usually develop from the terminal and
  axillary buds of the plant. If they develop from
  the root system they are called adventitious
  shoots.
• UNDERGROUND STEM
• They are stems that grow and develop
  underground. They are also known as organs of
  perennation, because they store food and give
  rise to new plants.
