In a stem-and-leaf plot, the "stem" typically consists of all but the last digit of a number, while the "leaf" consists of the last digit.

For the data entry 556:

  • The last digit is 6, which would be the leaf.
  • The remaining part (the stem) is 55.

Therefore, the stem for the data entry 556 is 55.
