Phyllotaxy, or phyllotaxis, refers to the arrangement of leaves on a plant stem. This pattern is crucial for maximizing light capture, reducing shading of lower leaves, and optimizing space for growth. Common phyllotactic patterns include alternate, opposite, and whorled arrangements. The specific arrangement is often determined by genetic and environmental factors.
