Stem Modifications
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Modified stems include the horizontal rhizome, the fleshy corm, the ground-level stolon, the above-ground runner, the starch-storing tuber, and the layered bulb.
Show
A strawberry plant spreads by runners; a potato is a tuber storing starch at the swollen end of a stolon.
Watch for
Tendrils and thorns are aerial stem modifications too, for climbing support and defense, not roots or leaves as they appear.
