Plants produce leaves primarily at the nodes of their stems, which are the points where leaves attach to the stem. This growth occurs in the shoot apical meristem, a region of active cell division located at the tip of the stem. Leaves can also emerge from axillary buds located in the leaf axils, which are the angles between the stem and the leaf stalk.
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).
Detailed description of edible plant stemsAsparagusThe edible portion is the rapidly emerging stems that arise from the crowns in the early spring.BambooThe edible portion is the young shoot (culm).BirchTrunk sap is drunk as a tonic or rendered into birch syrup, vinegar, beer, soft drinks, and other foods.BroccoliThe edible portion is stem tissue, flower buds, and some small leaves.CauliflowerThe edible portion is proliferated stem and flower tissue.CeleryThe whole plant is edible including the crisp petiole (leaf stalk) and the fleshy taproot.CinnamonThe bark is used as a spice.FigThe edible portion is stem tissue. The fig "fruit" is actually an inverted flower with both the male and female flower parts enclosed inside stem tissue.GarlicThe edible portion is predominantly swollen leaves with a bit of stem.Ginger rootThe edible portion is a branched underground compressed stem also referred to as a rhizome.KohlrabiThe edible portion is an enlarged (swollen) stem. It is a member of the cabbage family and is white, green, or purple in color.LeekSimilar to other members in the onion family, the edible portion is swollen leaves with a bit of stem.Lotus rootThe edible portion is a stem modified for underwater growth. Buds and branches are visible on the vegetable sold as lotus root.kupalThe edible portion is stem segments.OnionThe edible portion is swollen leaves with a bit of stem. They are bulbs which, like garlic and leeks, are modified stems in which the primary storage tissue is expanded leaf bases. They come in white, yellow, and red varieties.PotatoThe edible portion is an underground stem that is also a tuber. The "eyes" of the potato are lateral buds. Potatoes come in white, yellow, orange, or purple-colored varieties.RadishThe whole plant is edible, but it is commonly grown for the root.RhubarbThe red or green stalks are the edible portion; the leaves are toxic.SassafrasThe shoots and stem bark are sometimes used to make root beer.ShallotAlso a member of the onion family, the edible portion is mainly swollen leaves with a bit of stem.Sugar caneThe edible portion is the inner stalk (stem) whose sap is a source of sugar. In its raw form chewing or extraction through a juicer extracts its juice.Sugar mapleXylem sap from the tree trunks is made into maple sugar and maple syrup.TaroThe edible portion is the underground stem (corm).White pineThe sweet inner bark (phloem) was eaten by native Americans.

A plant with 5 leaves per stem typically has 5 leaves.
Because they live with a stem witch the stem is conected to the leaves.
Petunia leaves are sessile which means they grow without a leaf stem attached to the main stem. The leaves are opposite.
The portion of the stem nearest to the seed in a young plant is known as the hypocotyl.
Above ground system in plants consists of stem, leaves and flowers.
pith
Yes, bromeliads have a stem. The stem is usually short and hidden by the leaves in the center of the rosette. It helps support the plant and connect the roots with the leaves.
