GlossaryRhizome

underground stem that grows horizontally for plant propagation

A rhizome is a type of underground plant stem that grows horizontally. It often sends out roots and shoots from its nodes, allowing the plant to spread and propagate. Examples include ginger and bamboo. Rhizomes store nutrients and help plants survive adverse conditions, making them crucial for both plant survival and vegetative reproduction.
