In botany, describing a plant where the reproductive structures or flowers develop at the tip of the main stem or axis, rather than on side branches.
From Greek 'akron' (tip) + 'gamos' (marriage, reproduction) + '-ous'. A botanical classification term for reproductive positioning.
Acrogamous plants invest all their reproductive effort at the very tip—it's a bold strategy that puts all their eggs in one basket, literally at the top of their stem.
