1.A fleshy, enlarged stem of a rhizome or stolon. It has buds and can grow new plants 2.A plant structure with enlarged leaf bases and stored food surrounding a central bit of fleshy stem tissue 3.A stem which grows out periodically producing new stems and leaves on one side, and roots on the other 4.A short, solid, enlarged underground stem used for food storage and for asexual reproduction 5.A spore that develops by mitosis 6.Has true conductive tissues within it. It usually has true roots, stems, and leaves 7.Refers to the appearance of buds or roots from tissue which is not bud or root tissue 8.The act of propagating or establishing and growing new plants 9.A stem at or just beneath the surface of the ground which can give rise to aerial stems or roots
