Stem

Roots

When a plant "suckers," it indicates that a new shoot will develop from the roots. Suckering is a process where new shoots emerge from the base of a plant or from the root system itself, rather than from above-ground stems or flowers. This is particularly common in woody plants and certain types of perennials, where the roots send up new growth in response to environmental conditions or pruning.

This method of reproduction can help a plant spread and fill in areas, or recover from damage. It’s an important survival strategy for some species, allowing them to establish a larger presence in their environment. In contrast, options such as stems, leaves, or flowers do not typically produce suckers; stems may produce shoots but not classified as suckering, while leaves and flowers do not develop new shoots at their sites.
