Phyllode is a modified leaf, a petiole, while phylloclade is a modified stem.

In Phyllode petiole is changed to a planed, leaf like structure green in colour showing photosynthesis while in phylloclade stem is reformed into flat, green leafy structure to photosynthesize.

Phyllode bears an axillary bud while phylloclade does not.

Phyllode flower or bud are absent while in phylloclade it is present.

Phyllode does not branch while phylloclade does.

In Phyllode spines are absent and in phylloclade it is present as axillary buds.

Scaly leaves are absent in Phyllode while it is present in phylloclade.

In Phyllode node and internodes are absent while are present in phylloclade.

Example of Phyllode is Melanoxylone and Acacia while phylloclade is Cactus and Cocoloba.

i think the answer is right

1) Phyllode has a petiole which is flattened and they also perform the same function called photosynthesis, the rachis of a leaf (it is the main axis and a main stem of a compound leaf) also does photosynthesis.
1) Phylloclade is a structure arising from the stem tissue which are green in color and perform a critical function of photosynthesis.

2) The Phyllode are arising from the leafy structure itself as it does not grow up from a axil or the axillary structure of axilxillary leaf.
2) The Phylloclade, unlike their counterparts, are grown throughout the axil or the axillary structure of a leaf they most oftenly detach
and shed their leaf (at axil point) at an early stage or they are caducous.

3) Phyllodes exhibit the presence a bud on the axil of the Phyllode.
3) Phylloclade never exhibit and support the presence of a bud on the axillary position (axillary bud).

4) Phyllodes don't have the presence of either nodes or internodes.
4) Phylloclade carry the nodes and internodes, as, they are differentiable into different types.

5) Phyllodes cannot grow indefinitely or don't support the proper growth, hence, they have a limited amount of growth.
5) Phylloclade can grow indefinitely and they can show it prominently except cladoles (they are somewhat similar strutures and an adaptation towards stems) which don't show the growth, so, cladoles have limited growth.

6) Phyllodes have no specific junction and a structure which can bear a organ to support of.
6) Phylloclade can support the growth of organs, such as, flowers, sepals, leaves, branches, buds (not the axil one), etc.

7) Phyllodes are attracted towards only one position and grow at their maximum rate in that specific position (vertically growth).
7) Phylloclade are attracted and show growth at either horizontal position or vertical position in its own inclination (indefinite growth so position does not affect growth).

8) Phyllodes cannot take part in sexual reproduction, to be specific, they cannot actively play in the part of vegetative reproduction or multiplication.
8) Phylloclade have been showing the possession of sexual reproduction, that too, of vegetative reproduction or multiplication.

9) Phyllodes, on rare occasions, show succulence.
9) Phylloclade frequently show the ability to be succulent and can store food or water to give extra support to the plant.

10) Phyllodes don't show the presence of spines and scaly leaves as both of them are absent.
10 Phylloclade prominently show the presence of spines on their axil bud or axillary bud and also exhibit the mark of scaly leaves throughout the leafy structure.
