What does NODOSE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
botanyzoology
Having nodes or knot-like swellings along its length.
Nodose describes stems, roots, antennae or other slender parts that show a row of raised swellings rather than a smooth surface. Botanists apply nodose to jointed stalks such as certain grasses and sedges, while zoologists use the same word for insect antennae with thickened segments. A stem or a joint can be called nodose without any of the swellings being diseased or unusual for the species.
