Detailed explanation-1: -In botany a stolon-also called a runner-is a slender stem that grows horizontally along the ground, giving rise to roots and aerial (vertical) branches at specialized points called nodes. In zoology, stolons of certain invertebrate animals are horizontal extensions that produce new individuals by budding.
Detailed explanation-2: -A stolon is a segmented, horizontal stem which remains chiefly above ground. Stolons also arise from an adventitious bud in the crown zone. The segmented stem is covered with scales (modified leaves).
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of plants that extend through stolons include some species from the genera Riccia, Argentina (silverweed), Cynodon, Fragaria, and Pilosella (Hawkweeds), Zoysia japonica, Ranunculus repens. Plants with long, slender stolons are referred to as sarmentose plants.
