Modified stems STOLONS or RUNNERS are horizontal stems that grow along the ground surface. They enable a plant to reproduce asexually, as plantlets form at nodes along their length. The RHIZOMES store food and, having buds, they can also spread and form new plants.
Modified stems The potato plant has rhizomes that end in enlarged structures specialized for starch storage called TUBERS (aka potatoes) THORN is a modified stem Used for defense against herbivory
