The rhizome also retains the ability to allow new shoots to grow upwards.A rhizome is the main stem of the plant. A stolon is similar to a rhizome, but a stolon sprouts from an existing stem, has long internodes, and generates new shoots at the end, such as in the strawberry plant. In general, rhizomes have short internodes, send out roots from the bottom of the nodes, and generate new upward-growing shoots from the top of the nodes. * A stem tuber is a thickened part of a rhizome or stolon that has been enlarged for use as a storage organ.
