What is another word for acrogenic?
Pronunciation: [ˌakɹə͡ʊd͡ʒˈɛnɪk] (IPA) 
Acrogenic refers to organisms that grow from the tips of the roots or the top of the stem, as opposed to lateral, or side, growth. Synonyms for acrogenic include apical, terminal, and adventitious. Apical growth is restricted to the growing tip of the plant while terminal growth refers to the growth at the tip of the main stem. Adventitious growth is the growth that occurs from the unusual or unexpected location, such as a wound in a stem. These terms are important in botany because they help to describe the growth patterns of different plants, making it easier to classify and study them.
