Upgraded B003 Ntbi1601 Underground Stem Modifications Contrasting — a labelled NEET Biology diagram with a definitions lexicon.
Diagram showing the different types of underground stem modifications. Labelled parts: Rhizome, Growth, Runner, Spores, Seeds, contrasting, above ground, horizontal, below ground, Tuber, swollen stem, potato, Bulb, layered leaves. An underground, horizontal, modified stem that grows parallel to the soil surface and produces roots and shoots from its nodes. FYI: Ginger and turmeric are classic examples of plants that reproduce and store food reserves using rhizomes. Increase in size or mass; can occur in non-living matter like crystals. A specialized, horizontal, creeping stem that grows above the ground surface and produces new plantlets at its nodes (e.g., strawberry). FYI: Runners are a type of vegetative propagation that allows plants to quickly colonize new areas by forming new, genetically identical plants. Haploid reproductive cells produced by the sporophyte through meiosis, capable of developing into a gametophyte. FYI: In mosses, spores germinate to form a filamentous stage called the protonema. The ripened and fertilized ovules containing an embryo and stored food for future growth. FYI: Seeds are the final product of sexual reproduction in Spermatophytes (gymnosperms and angiosperms). contrasting is a labeled feature or concept in this upgraded BioAtlas image: A labeled diagram comparing and contrasting: 1.

A modified underground storage structure composed of fleshy, scale-like leaves (modified leaves) arranged around a central stem (underground stem). FYI: Onions and garlic are examples of plants that store food reserves in their bulbs, which are primarily composed of modified leaves. layered leaves is a labeled feature or concept in this upgraded BioAtlas image: A labeled diagram comparing and contrasting: 1.
