The terminal bud is at the apex or tip of the stem, similar to the apical bud at the apex or tip of the plant.

Explanation:

The terminal bud is the one responsible for linear or vertical growth of the stem.

Located at the apex or tip of the stem, it has special cells that can keep on dividing so as to enable the stem to elongate.
