This might be a double definition.

'shoots' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both plants as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'prizes' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pots that I've seen before include "earthenware here" , "Cooking utensils" , "Containers; oodles" , "Stop (anag.)" , "Gets (a ball) into pocket" .)
