# Rhizome

## Biology
>**Rhizome** Definition. A **rhizome** (also known as rootstocks) is a type of plant stem situated either at the soil surface or underground that contains nodes from which roots and shoots originate (shown below). **Rhizomes** are unique in that they grow perpendicular, permitting new shoots to grow up out of the ground.
