Define the term inflorescence. Explain the basis for the different types inflorescence in flowering plants
Explanation The vegetative apex is changed into floral meristem, in flowering season. Inflorescence is classified based on whether the floral axis continues to grow or ends in a flower. When the floral axis continues to grow and produce the flowers laterally, then it is racemose inflorescence. When the floral axis terminates into a flower, then it is a cymose inflorescence. Final Answer Inflorescence is the arrangement of flowers on the floral axis. There are two types of inflorescence- racemose and cymose inflorescence.
