Apical meristem
what is the difference of corm and rhizome

grows in axil, lateral stem
three layers of periderm
phellem, phellogen, and phelloderm
two functions of stem

no, prickles

petiole
short internodes usually packed leaves
rosette
most common phyllotaxy
spiral
a phyllotaxy where leaves are 180 degrees away from each other
distichous
It is the dead part of the periderm
phellem
a phyllotaxy where leaves does not reach 180 degrees away from each other
spiral
a phyllotaxy where there are two leaves per row
opposite
A layer of the periderm that produce the phellem and phelloderm
phellogen/cork cambium
a phyllotaxy where there are many leaves per row
whorled
modified stem of cactus and potato
storage stem
what does potato stores?
