Why is it masculine?
Tallo is masculine because it derives from Latin "talus" (a cutting or shoot of a plant), which belonged to the second declension masculine nouns in Latin, and this grammatical gender was preserved when the word evolved into Spanish. Like many Latin masculine nouns ending in -us, it retained the masculine gender while the Latin ending transformed into the Spanish -o.
