Answer:

The scion

The scion is the part of the grafted plant that will produce the plant’s shoots. It will, in the future, give rise to all of the plant’s leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits.

The scion is typically the top part of the grafted plant. If it is inserted lower down on the plant during the grafting process, everything above the scion is usually cut off in the spring. This forces all of the nutrients and water from the rootstock into the growing scion.

The rootstock

The rootstock is the lower portion of the grafted plant, the part that produces its roots. “Understock” and “stock” are synonyms for “rootstock.”

Usually, the top of the rootstock is about at the soil line, but not always! When plants are “top worked,” they might be grafted at a point many feet above the ground. In this case, everything below the graft, including perhaps an old tree’s trunk and branches, is the rootstock. Topworking is how weeping standard trees are produced: by putting a weeping scion on a non-weeping rootstock
