Prove that the flower is a modified shortened shoot.

A flower is usually called a modified short shoot, the main function of which is reproduction. It may or may not have a supporting part called a peduncle. It is noteworthy in the light of this issue that all the components of the flower (the exception in this case, the pedicel and receptacle) are modified leaves (the pistil, for example, is formed even by several spliced ​​leaves). The flower appears, however, an escape too, from the bud. The facts of proliferation (germination with the formation of another flower or shoot) of a flower have been recorded.
