What are irregular forms of shoot?

Runners: These are long, slender stems that grow horizontally above the ground. They produce roots and new plants at their nodes. Examples include strawberry and spider plants.

Suckers: These are shoots that grow from the roots of a plant. They can form a dense thicket of growth and compete with the parent plant for water and nutrients. Examples include raspberry and blackberry plants.

Offsets: These are small plants that grow from the base of a parent plant. They are typically attached to the parent plant by a stolon, which is a specialized stem. Examples include spider plants and hen and chicks.

Bulbs: These are地下茎s that are modified for storage. They consist of a fleshy, swollen stem surrounded by fleshy leaves. Examples include onions, garlic, and lilies.

Corms: These are地下茎s that are modified for storage. They consist of a solid, swollen stem surrounded by a papery tunic. Examples include gladiolus and crocus.

Rhizomes: These are地下茎s that grow horizontally underground. They produce roots and new plants at their nodes. Examples include ginger, turmeric, and iris.

Tubers: These are underground stems that are modified for storage. They consist of a swollen stem with "eyes," which are buds that can grow into new plants. Examples include potatoes and yams.
