English term or phrase: stumpy (adj.)

Dear all,

What is the most suitable translation for the adj. "stem" in this context:

"YOU NEED TO FLICK OFF THIS LITTLE STUMPY PIECE OF THE STEM"

*The chef has an avocado on his hand*

Does it like مكعبرة in the Egyptian colloquial language? How can we express that?

Thanks.

قطعة متبقية

Explanation:
هل تحتاج إلى إزالة هذه القطعة المتبقية من ساق الشجرة؟

كلمة (stump) تعني الجِذْل، والجِذْل هو أصل الشجرة الباقي بعض قطع جذعها. كما أنها عامة تعني العقب أو الجزء المتبقي من شيء ما بعد إزالته.

وفقا للسياق المذكور، يحمل الطاهي في يده ثمرة أفوكادو حدث أثناء قطفها أن قٌطِعَ معها جزء من ساق النبات

بما أنه يمسك بقطعة من فاكهة الأفوكادو ،أعتقد أنه يقصد ببساطة إزالة القشرة السميكة من الثمرة كطريقة للإعداد الثمرة
