What does AROID mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A plant belonging to the arum family, typically bearing tiny flowers packed onto a fleshy spike wrapped in one large leaf-like sheath.
Aroid names any member of the plant family Araceae, a large group that includes familiar houseplants such as philodendrons and peace lilies, along with the genus Arum itself, from which the family and the word aroid both take their name. The flower structure shared by aroids consists of a spadix, a fleshy central spike covered in tiny flowers, wrapped by a spathe, a single large modified leaf that often looks like one showy petal. Many aroids are popular indoor plants precisely because their broad, glossy leaves tolerate low light far better than most flowering plants can. Botanists also use aroid as an adjective, describing anything characteristic of this particular plant family.
