A geophyte (earth+plant) is a plant with an underground storage organ including true bulbs, corms, tubers, tuberous roots, enlarged hypocotyls, and rhizomes. Most plants with underground stems are geophytes but not all plants that are geophytes have underground stems. Geophytes are often physiologically active even when they lack leaves.
In botany and dendrology, a rhizome (/ ˈ r aɪ z oʊ m / RY-zohm) [note 1] is a modified subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. Rhizomes are also called creeping rootstalks or just rootstalks. [3] Rhizomes develop from axillary buds and grow horizontally. The rhizome also retains the ability to allow new shoots ...
Stolon: A horizontal stem that produces rooted plantlets at its nodes and ends, forming near the surface of the ground. Thorn: A modified stem with a sharpened point. Tuber: A swollen, underground storage stem adapted for storage and reproduction, e.g. potato. Woody: Hard textured stems with secondary xylem.
Stem tubers manifest as thickened rhizomes (underground stems) or stolons (horizontal connections between organisms); examples include the potato and yam. The term root tuber describes modified lateral roots , as in sweet potatoes , cassava , and dahlias .
Corm, bulbo-tuber, or bulbotuber is a short, vertical, swollen underground plant stem that serves as a storage organ that some plants use to survive winter or other adverse conditions such as summer drought and heat (perennation).
An adit (from Latin aditus, entrance) [1] or stulm [2] is a horizontal or nearly horizontal passage to an underground mine. [3] Miners can use adits for access, drainage, [4] ventilation, and extracting minerals at the lowest convenient level. [1] Adits are also used to explore for mineral veins. [1]
Adventitious roots usually develop from plantlet nodes formed via horizontal, above ground stems, termed stolons, e.g., strawberry runners, and spider plant. Some leaves develop adventitious buds, which then form adventitious roots, e.g. piggyback plant ( Tolmiea menziesii ) and mother-of-thousands ( Kalanchoe daigremontiana ).
