Answer
In grafting, the desired plant is derived from two different individuals. The root portion taken from one plant is called the stock while the stem portion from the other is called the scion. Scion is the plant which one wants to propagate and so it is grafted on to the stock. The grafting ends of the stock and scion are obliquely cut and placed face to face. Then two ends are tied tightly.
