RUNNERS

In botany a stolon—also called a runner—is a slender stem that grows horizontally along the ground, giving rise to roots and aerial (vertical) branches at specialized points called nodes.

Stolon, in biology, a special slender horizontal branch serving to propagate the organism.

BULB

The definition of a bulb is any plant that stores its complete life cycle in an underground storage structure. The primary function of these underground storage structures is to store nutrient reserves to ensure the plants' survival.

RHIZOMES

The primary function of the rhizome is the storage of nutrients, including carbohydrates and proteins, until the plant requires them for the growth of new shoots or to survive the winter in a process termed vegetative reproduction.

PISTIL

The pistil is the female reproductive structure of the flower. Pistil helps to receive pollen and in the fertilization process. The pistil is also involved in the process of germination of the pollen grains. It also helps to transfer pollen grains in the process of pollination.

OVARY

The ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization. The ovary itself will mature into a fruit, either dry or fleshy, enclosing the seeds.
