True or false: A leaflet has a bud.

A leaflet is a single blade of a compound leaf and does not have its own bud. In botanical terms, a bud is a developing shoot that can grow into a new leaf, flower, or stem, which is typically found at the tip of a stem or branch. While leaflets are part of the structure of a compound leaf, they do not possess their own buds. Buds emerge from the axils (the angles between the leaf stem and the main stem), typically associated with the main stem or branch rather than individual leaflets. This distinction clarifies why the assertion that a leaflet has a bud is incorrect.
