The mass of dividing undifferentiated cells of the cut end of the shoot is called a callus. Callus tissue forms at the site of injury or wound in plants, such as when a stem or leaf is cut for propagation purposes. These undifferentiated cells can eventually differentiate into various types of plant cells and tissues, allowing for the development of new roots, shoots, or both, depending on the propagation method being used.
