adventitious shoot

Adventitious shoots are plant structures that arise from locations other than the usual shoot stem, such as from roots or leaves. This phenomenon is a form of vegetative reproduction, allowing a plant to propagate asexually. For example, tuberous roots, like those of the sweet potato, can readily form adventitious shoots. Similarly, shoots that rise adventitiously from roots are called suckers, as seen in raspberries. This ability to grow from unusual locations is a natural process for many plants and can be utilized in horticulture for propagation.12
