45/50 - Rhizome

A rhizome is a modified stem of a plant that is usually found underground and sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. They develop from buds and grow vertical to the force of gravity. The rhizome also has the ability to grow new shoots upward. In this picture, you can see some of the roots of the tree  sticking out of the ground.
