stolon

World Encyclopedia | 2005 | Copyright

stolon Modified, horizontal, underground or aerial stem growing from the basal node of a plant. Aerial stolons, also called runners, may be slender, as in a strawberry, or stiff and arching, as bramble. The stolon produces a new plant at its tip, which puts out adventitious roots to anchor itself. See also tuber; vegetative reproduction

stolon

A Dictionary of Biology | 2004 | Copyright

Gardeners often pin down stolons to the soil to aid the propagation of such plants. This process is termed layering.
