• Vegetative reproductionBroader topic: Rhizomes extend a plant while buds along the stem generate new shoots.

• FernRelated: Many ferns spread or persist through rhizomes that bear roots and fronds.

• BulbCompared with: Unlike a bulb, a rhizome is an elongated stem with distinct nodes.

• Perennial plantBroader topic: Rhizomes let some perennials spread and resprout from underground stems.

• BambooRelated: Bamboo rhizomes spread laterally and generate new culms.

• StolonCompared with: Rhizomes are usually underground, whereas stolons typically grow along the surface.

• GingerBroader topic: Ginger’s familiar aromatic portion is a rhizome, not a root.

• CyperaceaeRelated: Many sedges spread or persist through rhizomes, shaping their growth and habitat-forming ability.

• PoalesRelated: Rhizomes let many Poales spread vegetatively and recover after disturbance.

• ZingiberaceaeRelated: Many ginger-family plants store resources and spread through aromatic rhizomes.

• LiliaceaeRelated: Some Liliaceae grow from rhizomes rather than bulbs.

• Node (botany)Compared with: Its nodes occur on a modified stem, unlike the usual upright aerial stem.

• SeagrassBroader topic: Seagrass rhizomes spread through sediment, anchoring plants and extending meadows.

• GalangalNarrower topic: Galangal is valued for this stem, rather than for its roots.

• NymphaeaRelated: Many water lilies grow from rhizomes anchored in pond or lake sediment.

• NymphaeaceaeRelated: Many water lilies anchor in sediment and grow new leaves from rhizomes.

• NelumboRelated: Nelumbo spreads and survives through edible, starch-storing rhizomes in the pond bottom.

• TarragonRelated: Tarragon spreads through underground rhizomes and can be divided for propagation.

• Bamboo shootRelated: Bamboo shoots emerge from buds on underground rhizomes.

• HeliconiaRelated: Many heliconias spread and regenerate through rhizomes.

• IridaceaeRelated: Many irises spread and store resources through thick rhizomes rather than corms.

• Lily of the valleyRelated: Its spreading rhizomes allow lily of the valley to form dense colonies.

• MugwortRelated: Mugwort spreads and persists through underground rhizomes.

• Nelumbo nuciferaRelated: Its edible rhizomes spread through pond sediment and store resources.

• Nymphaea lotusRelated: The water lily grows from a submerged rhizome anchored in sediment.

• AcorusRelated: Acorus spreads and persists through aromatic rhizomes in wet ground.

• Acorus calamusRelated: Its aromatic rhizome is the plant part most often harvested.

• EquisetumRelated: Underground rhizomes let horsetails spread and produce repeated aerial stems.

• Typha latifoliaRelated: Underground rhizomes let established stands spread and resprout.

• Vaccinium myrtillusRelated: Bilberry spreads locally through underground stems as well as by seed.

• ZingiberRelated: Zingiber species grow from rhizomes, which store resources and enable vegetative spread.

• AlstroemeriaRelated: The genus commonly spreads and regrows from underground rhizomes.

• Basal shootCompared with: Unlike a basal shoot, a rhizome is a distinct stem that can extend away from the plant’s base.

• BrackenRelated: Bracken spreads through extensive rhizomes that send up new fronds.

• Dracaena trifasciataRelated: Rhizomes let the plant spread and produce clusters of upright leaves.

• TempskyaRelated: The compact stems within Tempskya’s trunk were arranged in a dense, branching system.

• Urtica dioicaRelated: Nettle rhizomes help form spreading colonies and support regrowth.
