why flowers are known as reproductive shoot system of a plant

@ rutika 
during the flowering season , the apical meristem give rise to the floral meristem , the axis of the stem get condensed , while the internodes lie near each other , instead of leaves , various floral appendages  arise from the nodes , so, by this reason we can call flower as a modified shoot . |
