BUDS (4)

bud

In botany, a bud is an undeveloped or embryonic shoot and normally occurs in the axil of a leaf or at the tip of the stem. Once formed, a bud may remain for some time in a dormant condition, or it may form a shoot immediately. Buds may be specialized to develop flowers or short shoots, or may have the potential for general shoot development.

Definitions.net

Buds arise from meristem tissue on the stem of vascular plants and may develop into a flower, leaf, or shoot.. In temperate climates, trees form resting buds that are resistant to frost in preparation for winter. Flower buds are modified leaves.
