arrangement of leaves on plant called as.... ???

Answer 1

phyllotaxis or phyllotaxy .
In botany, phyllotaxis or phyllotaxy is the arrangement of the leaves on the shoot of a plant. The basic patterns are alternate, opposite, whorled or spiral. With an alternate pattern, leaves switch from side to side. A alternate distichous phyllotaxis means that each leaf growing at a single node is disposed in a single rank along the branch (such as in grasses). In an opposite pattern, two leaves grow in opposite directions from the same node. In an opposite pattern, if successive leaf pairs are perpendicular, this is called decussate. A whorled pattern consists of three or more leaves at each node. An opposite leaf pair can be thought of as a whorl of two leaves. A whorl can occur as a basal structure where all the leaves are attached at the base of the shoot and the internodes are small or nonexistent. A basal whorl with a large number of leaves spread out in a circle is called a rosette. A multijugate pattern is a spriral composed of whorls.

Answer 2

First of all the grammar of the question is faulty.

It should have been " The arrangement of leaves on a plant is called..............?" (as is superfluous here).

Alternatively , it could have been " The arrangement of leaves on a plant is known as..............?" ( as is grammatically correct here.)
