thumb|upright=1.35|European beech (Fagus sylvatica) 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 a 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. The term bud is also used in zoology, where it refers to an outgrowth from the body which can develop into a new individual.
AI overview
A bud is an undeveloped shoot on a plant, typically found where a leaf meets the stem or at the tip of a branch, that can either remain dormant or grow into new leaves, flowers, or branches. Buds matter because they are how plants produce new growth and reproduce, allowing them to expand and develop over time.
