Rhizome



Rhizome is a fancy word for root. Rhizomes are the roots from plants, or they may be the stems for some plants. Rhizomes help survival, for they go deep underground, and they help asexual reproduction. The photo above are some weeds that I pulled out from the backyard. The rhizome is the brown mess below the green of the plant. Ginger is a type of rhizome.
