What is meant by axillary buds ? Please explain with a diagram.

Axillary bud is a bud that is located at the axil (the place where the petiole is attached to the stem) of the plant. This is also known as the lateral buds. This develops from the nodes of the plant which further develops to form a new stem or new flowers. Thus, this bud is capable of developing into a flower cluster or a branch shoot.
