Stems bear leaves but root cannot.
In stems, side branches arise from axillary buds. These buds are located at the nodes in the leaf axil (the point where the leaf attaches to the stem)
Lateral roots, on the other hand, arise from deep within the root's tissue, near the central core. Roots don't have nodes, and they don't have buds.
