shoot

Other Definitions
shoot (dict)

A shoot is the fresh young growth of a plant stem. Many animals eat shoots because the fiber cells are not yet developed to toughen the stem. As a protection, some plants (eg. bracken) produce toxins that make their shoots inedible or less palatable. See also: bud, meristem
