Rhizomes are the horizontal stems from which some plants, such as irises, grow. Rhizomes are found on or just under the surface of the earth. the thick stem of some plants, which lies under the ground and has roots and leaves growing out of it (rhizoma, from , , from rhiza ). Horizontal underground plant stem capable of producing the upward shoot and downward root systems of a new plant. This capability allows vegetative (asexual) propagation and enables plants to survive an annual unfavourable season underground. In some plants (e.g., water lilies, many ferns, and forest herbs), the rhizome is the only stem of the plant. In such cases, only the leaves and flowers are readily visible
n (Gr rhiza, a root) a subterranean horizontal root-like stem sending out leaves and shoots from its upper surface and roots from its lower surface
A horizontal, underground stem which is distinguished from a root by the presence of nodes, buds and leaves or scales
{i} root-like stem which grows horizontally under the surface of the soil and produces new sprouts (Botany)
