Underground Stem §

Group: 3 #group-3

Relations §

• Underground Plant Part: Underground stems are plant parts that are located beneath the soil surface.
• Nutrient Storage: One of the primary functions of underground stems is to store nutrients and energy for the plant’s growth and survival.
• Perennial Plants: Many perennial plants have underground stems that allow them to regrow each year.
• Rhizome: A rhizome is a type of underground stem that grows horizontally.
• Vegetative Reproduction: Underground stems are involved in vegetative reproduction, allowing plants to propagate asexually through the growth of new plants from the stem.
• Rhizome: A rhizome is a type of underground stem that grows horizontally and can produce new shoots and roots.
• Bulb: A bulb is an underground stem that consists of fleshy leaf bases and a short stem surrounded by papery scales, such as onions.
• Bulb: A bulb is an underground stem with fleshy leaves or leaf bases that store nutrients, such as onions.
• Food Storage: Underground stems store nutrients and energy, allowing plants to survive dormant periods.
• Tuber: A tuber is a thickened, fleshy underground stem that stores nutrients, such as potatoes.
• Plant Anatomy: Underground stems are a part of plant anatomy, specifically the stem system, and their structure and function are studied in plant morphology.
• Botany: The study of underground stems and their roles in plant growth, reproduction, and survival is a part of the broader field of botany.
• Tuber: A tuber is a type of underground stem that stores nutrients for the plant.
• Corm: A corm is a solid, swollen underground stem base that stores nutrients, such as taro.
• Asexual Reproduction: The growth of new plants from underground stems is a form of asexual reproduction, which does not involve the fusion of gametes.
• Storage Organ: Underground stems serve as storage organs for plants, allowing them to store nutrients and energy for growth and reproduction.
• Corm: A corm is a solid, underground stem that stores nutrients, such as in crocuses and gladioli.
• Asexual Reproduction: Underground stems are a form of asexual reproduction, allowing plants to propagate without seeds.
• Perennial Plant: Many plants with underground stems are perennial, meaning they can live for more than two years and regrow from their underground stems each year.
• Vegetative Reproduction: Underground stems allow plants to reproduce vegetatively by producing new shoots and roots.
• Survival Mechanism: Underground stems serve as a survival mechanism for plants, allowing them to persist through unfavorable conditions and regrow when conditions improve.
• Rhizome: A rhizome is a type of underground stem that grows horizontally and can produce roots and shoots from its nodes.
• Tuber: A tuber is a thickened, underground stem that stores nutrients for the plant, such as potatoes.
• Herbaceous Plants: Many herbaceous plants have underground stems that die back annually and regrow from the stem.
• Horizontal Stem: Underground stems, such as rhizomes, grow horizontally beneath the soil surface.
• Modified Stem: Underground stems are modified stems that have adapted for specific functions, such as storage and vegetative reproduction.
