Also means
shoot (botany)
Usage Note
Vástago in its human sense means a descendant or scion — often used with a slightly formal or literary tone (el vástago de una familia noble). In botany it means a new shoot or sprout growing from a plant's stem or root. Note the written accent on the á, which keeps the stress on the first syllable.
Examples
"Ese vástago heredó el talento de su madre."
Natural Translation
That offspring inherited her mother's talent.
