Explanation:

• Sub-aerial stem modifications is the stem of these plants is partially above ground and partially below ground. Types are: runner, stolon and offset.
• Runner: It's a creeper that grows horizontally on the soil's surface. Scale leaves, adventitious roots and auxiliary buds can be found at the nodes. auxiliary buds give rise to runners.
• Stolon: These grow in the air for a while before bending down to touch the ground. A new stem and adventitious roots emerge from the terminal bud. Stolon grows from the main stem's base. For example, jasmine.
• Offset: It is present in aquatic plants and is shorter and thicker. It sprouts from the leaf's axis and spreads horizontally. Pistia, is a example.
