What is the Major Difference Between Tiller and Shoot in Botany

on

Tillering is known as the formation of side shoots and is a property possessed by various species in the family Poaceae. This allows them to produce several stems (tillers) starting from the initial single seedling.

Shoots are comprised of stems including their appendages, lateral buds, leaves, flowering stems, and flower buds. The new growth from seed germination that grows upward might be a shoot where leaves will develop.
