HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Geophyte. A geophyte (earth+plant) is a plant with an underground storage organ including true bulbs, corms, tubers, tuberous roots, enlarged hypocotyls, and rhizomes. Most plants with underground stems are geophytes but not all plants that are geophytes have underground stems.

Detailed explanation-2: -The root system includes those parts of the plant below ground, such as the roots, tubers, and rhizomes. Plant cells are formed at meristems, and then develop into cell types which are grouped into tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Roots are present under the ground. They absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

Detailed explanation-4: -Roots grow downward and are present inside the soil. Shoots are structures that develop upward to form stems, leaves, flowers and buds.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
