Detailed explanation-1: -The shoot system of the plant comprises the parts of the plant that rise above the ground. These parts include buds, leaves, flowering buds, flowering stems, and the main stem. Together they make up the shoot system. The word shoot generally refers to the main stem.

Detailed explanation-2: -Shoot system is an aerial and erect part of plant body which grows upwards. It is usually above the soil and develops from plumule of the embryo. It consists of stem, branches, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stems and the leaves, buds, flowers, and fruits they support are referred to as shoots. Leafy shoots are made of stems and leaves. Flowering shoots have stems and flowers. As a shoot’s apical meristem cells divide and elongate, it extends the length of the stem.

Detailed explanation-4: -The shoot system consists stems, leaves, and the reproductive parts of the plant (flowers and fruits). The shoot system generally grows above ground, where it absorbs the light needed for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bud vs Shoot. Buds and shoots are two different parts of a plant. A shoot is from which a bud rises, and a bud is the knoblike part of the plant from which flowers, stems, or leaves develop. Buds also refer to the leaves and flowers that are not fully opened.
