Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Peduncle: The stalk of a flower. Receptacle: The part of a flower stalk where the parts of the flower are attached.

Detailed explanation-2: -The peduncle is the stalk of a flower or an inflorescence. When a flower is borne singly, the internode between the receptacle and the bract (the last leaf, often modified and usually smaller than the other leaves) is the peduncle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The peduncle is the main stalk that supports a solitary flower or an inflorescence. Later, it also supports the fruit. This main stalk or stem arises from the main stem and holds several pedicels. The peduncle can sometimes have bracts or leaf modifications at its nodes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The peduncle of a simple flower is easy to recognize. It is the classic stem you hold, cut, or put into a vase to admire. Its job is to support the flower. An artichoke stem is a peduncle, and for the same reason.

Detailed explanation-5: -The stem is the main supporting axis of a flowering plant. It is made up of nodes, the part where one or more leaves are borne and of the usually longer, in-between lying internodes. Stems are characterized by their type of branching, by their surface and their symmetry.
