Detailed explanation-1: -You can divide rhizomes into pieces or remove small bulblets or cormels from their parent. Tubers can be cut into pieces containing eyes and nodes. All of these tissues will produce new plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -rhizome, also called creeping rootstalk, horizontal underground plant stem capable of producing the shoot and root systems of a new plant. Rhizomes are used to store starches and proteins and enable plants to perennate (survive an annual unfavourable season) underground.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike roots, rhizomes have nodes. The nodes of rhizomes send out roots into the soil to perform asexual reproduction by vegetative propagation. Often roots grow from the bottom part of the rhizome while shoots grow from the upper portion of the nodes.
