resprouted
Emerged once more
Resprouted is the past tense and past participle of resprout, meaning to sprout again after being cut back, damaged, or dormant.
Plants that resprout send up new growth from their roots or remaining stems, a survival mechanism common in trees and shrubs after fire or pruning.
The stumps resprouted vigorously after we cleared the brush.
The term appears frequently in forestry, horticulture, and ecological contexts.
