Modified stems that grow horizontally underground are either rhizomes, from which vertical shoots grow, or fleshier, food-storing corms.
New plants can arise from the nodes of stolons and runners (an aboveground stolon): stems that run parallel to the ground, or just below the surface.
Potatoes are examples of tubers: the swollen ends of stolons that may store starch.

Aerial modifications of stems include tendrils, thorns, bulbils, and cladodes
