1.Rhizomes are essentially underground modified stems while roots are part of the root system that put rhizomes under its hood.
2.Rhizomes work as food storage and aid in vegetative propagation while roots’ functions include absorption of water and nutrients, storage of food, prevention of soil erosion, and attachment of the plant body to them ground.
3.Rhizomes have nodes, internodes, tiny leaves, and buds while roots don’t have anything similar.


For the layman, "corms" (assuming that you are even familiar with the name, at all) may be somewhat interchangeable with "bulbs," "tubers," and "rhizomes." Although people loosely call all of these "bulbs," the correct umbrella term is "geophyte," a term composed of the Greek words for "earth" and "plant." They all grow hidden underground and look like swelled roots. Shoots spring out of them, crack the surface, and provide the "public face" of the plant, above-ground.
