twig

n. small branch, shoot, offshoot, sprig; small branch of a nerve or blood vessel (Anatomy)

v. understand; notice, observe

A twig is a small terminal branch section that may bear leaves, buds and sometimes the flowers and fruit of plants. Only dicotyledonous flowering woody plants and most gymnosperms have true twigs; monocotyledons and tree ferns do not.Twigs are critically important in identification of trees, shrubs and vines, especially in wintertime. The buds on the twig are an important diagnostic characteristic, as are the abscission scars where the leaves have fallen away. The color, texture, and patterning of the twig bark is also important, as is the thickness and nature of any pith of the twig.
