Latex

We have a plant in our garden.we trim it.something like latex is coming from the branches when we trim.can we say latex for that liquid?
You can call it that as long as each of you understands what latex means. If you want other people to understand what you are talking about, it would probably make more sense to call it sap.
What you described may be sap or it may be latex. They are two different liquids that can come out when plants are cut. Find out which liquid you have, and use the correct term for it. (If the liquid is white and milky, it's probably latex. If it's transparent and sticky, it's probably sap.)

Thank you so much.
Can you tell me please how I pronounce sap?
Like cat?
Yes, the vowel sound is very similar to the vowel sound in cat. If you click on this link, you can listen to the pronunciation of that word in various accents: sap. Select the listen option at the top of the page.
