Definition
stolons- horizontal stems which grow along ground
rhizomes- horizontal stems underground
tuber- a underground stem which sprouts new plants (potatoes)
bulb-surrounded by papery skin this type of underground stem grows a single stem and root system
Term
vegetative propagation
Definition
the regeneration of new plants from cuttings of parent plants for the purpose of asexual reproduction
Term

Definition
type of hormone that increase the size of plants dramatically
Term
ethylene
Definition
hormone that causes fruit to ripen quickly
