resprouting
Emerging after cutting
Resprouting is the regrowth of new shoots from a plant's root system, stump, or base after the above-ground portion has been cut, burned, or damaged.
Many trees and shrubs resprout vigorously after wildfires: The eucalyptus was resprouting within weeks of the blaze.
The trait allows plants to recover quickly without relying on seeds.
