Shoot

Shoots appear to be immature trees, but at this stage of growth, the exact species cannot be identified. This plant may only be found on land in few places, mainly in the Perplexing Pool, but is also found in clusters on various cave sublevels. They do not affect gameplay, as they are just for scenery.

Olimar's Notes
This is a young shoot of some kind, but what kind of tree species does it belong to? What shape will it take when it matures and grows to full height? Unfortunately, we are only able to obtain information from our portable scanners on a select few of the countless number of species we've encountered. But even if out expedition yields only brief observations on the life we encounter, it will still provide a better understanding of this bizarre planet.

Louie's Notes
Inedible. And yet strangely delicious.

Pikmin:Redemption
There are many more of these and you can see thier grown-up versions,Vines and Saplings.

Pikspore
PS undefined These plants reappear, and they appear in many caves. For some odd reason, the frozen tunnels of the Cold Chasm are full of Shoots.
