Stalk (4)

I believe the answer is:

stem

'stalk' is the definition.
(I know that stalk can be written as stem)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for stem that I've seen before include "Thwart; support" , "Slender vertical part, glass or plant" , "Slender upright part of wine glass" , "Ski turn and plant stalk" , "Basic skiing turn" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Irish Independent, The Mirror, The Sun, The Guardian, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard and the Penny Press.
