Nodes: hold buds which grow into one or more leaves, conifer cones, roots, other stems, or flowers (inflorescence).
Bud: an embryonic shoot with immature stem tip.
Bulb: a short vertical underground stem with fleshy storage leaves attached, e.g. onion, daffodil, tulip
Climbing: stems that cling or wrap around other plants or structures.
Corm: a short enlarged underground, storage stem, e.g. taro, crocus, gladiolus.
Herbaceous: non woody, they die at the end of the growing season.
Pedicel: stems that serve as the stalk of an individual flower in an inflorescence or infrutescence.
Rhizome: a horizontal underground stem that functions mainly in reproduction but also in storage, e.g. most ferns, iris.
Stolon: a horizontal stem that produces rooted plantlets at its nodes and ends, forming near the surface of the ground.
Thorn: a modified stem with a sharpened point.
Tuber: a swollen, underground storage stem adapted for storage and reproduction, e.g. potato.
Dermal tissue: covers the outer surface of the stem and usually functions to waterproof, protect and control gas exchange.
Gymnosperms: are woody plants.
Decumbent: stems that lie flat on the ground and turn upwards at the ends.
Flax: is a member of the genus Linum in the family Linaceae
Underground stems: are modified plant structures that derive from stem tissue but exist under the soil surface.
Petiole: is the stalk attaching the leaf blade to the stem.
Cladode: a flattened stem that appears more-or-less leaf like and is specialized for photosynthesis
Acaulescent : used to describe stems in plants that appear to be stemless.
Prickle: a sharpened extension of the stem's outer layers, e.g. roses.
Decumbent: stems that lie flat on the ground and turn upwards at the ends.
Pith: occupies the large central part of the stem.
Internodes: The area between nodes is termed __.
Simple: stems without branches
Runners: are horizontally growing shoots with greatly prolonged internodes that are either underground or above ground
Arborescent: tree like with woody stems normally with a single trunk.
Woody: hard textured stems with secondary xylem.
Tracheids: gymnosperms produce only __ in their xylem.
Spur: is a compressed fruiting branch.
Cane: is a stem which has a relatively large pith and usually lives only one or two years.
