Is tall dominant? You didn't say. Let's assume it is. Therefore, as long as a dominant allele is one of the two alleles an organism has for every trait, and we let "R" stand for dominant tall and 'r' stand for recessive short, then either an RR or Rr genotype will result in a tall phenotype.
the tall plant must be heterozygous
For example, if the tall plant stand for T, the genotypes are: TT tt

The tall pea plants have the phenotype of tall height. Their genotypes can vary depending on whether they are homozygous dominant (TT) or heterozygous (Tt) for the tall trait.
Tt
TT or Tt
a stem
I think you have the question backwards, "Why isn't it possible to have more phenotypes than genotypes?" There are always more or an equal number of genotypes relative to phenotypes. The phenotype for a simple dominant/recessive interaction (for example) T for tall and t for short where TT is tall, Tt is tall and tt is short has three genotypes and two phenotypes. If T and t are co-dominant then TT would be tall, Tt would be intermediate and tt would be short. (Three phenotypes and three genotypes.)
the tall plant must be heterozygous
For example, if the tall plant stand for T, the genotypes are: TT tt
No, sugar cane is not a tree; it is a tall grass plant. It has a fibrous and tough stem that contains a high concentration of sugar.
Three types of genotypes that exist for pea plant height are: TT - Homozygous dominant genotype for tall height Tt - Heterozygous genotype for tall height tt - Homozygous recessive genotype for short height
The results of the first generation were 3 tall plants and 1 short plant, indicating that some activity was making the tall plants more likely, but not exclusively so.

Using Punnett Squares, you can predict the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of a cross between a homozygous (purebred) tall pea plant and a homozygous (purebred) short pea plant.
