Solution: Inflorescence is the pattern, fashion or manner in which the flowers are arranged on the axis of flowering. It is nothing but the arrangement of flowers on the stem axis.
The vegetative apex of the stem gets converted into a floral meristem during the flowering season.
Inflorescence can be classified into racemose and cymose based on whether the floral axis continues to grow or end in a flower into racemose and cymose inflorescence.
Racemose inflorescence: the floral axis continues to grow and produces flowers laterally.
Cymose inflorescence: the main axis terminates into a flower. Hence, it is limited in growth.
