Answer 2

Underground stems are modified plants that derive from stem tissue but exist under the soil surface.[1] They function as storage tissues for food and nutrients, propagation of new clones, and perennation (survival from one growing season to the next).[2] Types include bulbs, corms, rhizomes, stolons, spindle-shaped[citation needed], and tubers.Plants have two axes of growth, which can be best seen from seed germination and growth. Seedlings develop two structures or axes of growth, one that develops upward out of the soil, called stems, and structures that develop downward which are called roots. The roots are modified to have root hairs and branch indiscriminately with cells that take in water and nutrients, while the stems are modified to move water and nutrients to and from the leaves and flowers.
