Peduncle
The stem that holds up a flower, a group of flowers, or a fruit. It connects these structures to the plant and provides support as they grow. Did You Know? In some plants, such as sunflowers and apples, the peduncle can be quite sturdy because it must support the weight of large flower heads or developing fruits.
Did you know?
A sunflower peduncle supports an entire flower head containing hundreds or thousands of florets.
