A flower is a modified shoot meant for sexual reproduction wherein the shoot apical meristem changes to floral meristem. Internodes do not elongate and the axis gets condensed. The apex produces different kinds of floral appendages laterally at successive nodes instead of leaves. The arrangement of flowers on the floral axis is termed as inflorescence. Therefore, a is Modified shoot, b is Sexual reproduction, c is Inflorescence.
