are underground stems that produce roots and send up shoots
plural of rhizome
a form of reproduction where a plant grows an underground offshoot from its roots or stem that surfaces and grows into a new plant at a different location
Thick, horizontal stems that grow below the ground They may be long and slender, as in some lawn grasses, or thick and fleshy, as in many irises Rhizomes are often specialized for food storage, and they allow plants to survive and spread after mowing or clipping
Roots that travel underground laterally and send up new plants An example is the perennial sweet woodruff (Galium odorata), which travels laterally an inch or so underground, then breaks the surface to grow a new stem
A creeping underground stem; these growths tend to be very hardy
A root-like stem which is prostrate, grows partly or wholly underground, and can root from the stem nodes Sometimes called "Rootstock"

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
