In botany and dendrology, a rhizome (/ ˈraɪzoʊm / 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.

2013年10月3日 · Rhizomes are root-like stems that grow horizontally under the ground. New roots and shoots form at the nodes with shoots growing upwards to form new plantlets.

2025年1月25日 · rhizome, horizontal underground plant stem capable of producing the shoot and root systems of a new plant. Rhizomes are used to store starches and proteins and enable plants to perennate (survive an annual unfavourable season) underground.

2022年1月16日 · Are you looking for plants that propagate through rhizomes? Here is a list of several plants with rhizomes.

2019年10月4日 · A rhizome (also known as rootstocks) is a type of plant stem situated either at the soil surface or underground that contains nodes from which roots and shoots originate (shown below). Rhizomes are unique in that they grow perpendicular, permitting new shoots to grow up out of the ground.

2023年8月25日 · Rhizomes are specialized forms of stems that can produce new shoots and roots while staying underground. These rhizomes store proteins, nutrients, starches, and glucose to help plants survive unfavorable environmental conditions. They are divided into two types: (1) dense and (2) running. Dense rhizomes grow vertically.
