The stem is the main axis of the plant to which flowers, leaves, and fruits are attached.

A "shoot" is a very general term, not very scientifically accurate, but is generally used to mean an area of new growth which would consist of stem, leaves and/or flowers (a shoot from a bulb would contain all parts except for the root, a shoot from a tree would have a stem and leaves at the minimum).
