Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rhizomes are modified stems that grow horizontally underground, parallel to the soil surface. They have fleshy scales and nodes, from which roots and shoots can grow. Stolons are also similar in structure, but they grow above the ground. Bulbs, corms, and tubers are all different types of underground storage organs, but they do not have the same structure as rhizomes.
