The stem in a stem-and-leaf diagram represents the leftmost digits of each number, which typically denote the higher order values (such as tens, hundreds, etc.), while the leaf represents the remaining digits to the right, which are usually the lower order values (such as units). This method allows for a quick visual representation of the distribution of a data set.
