What does RAMATE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
botany
Having branches; used to describe a plant stem, root, or other structure that divides into branch-like parts.
Ramate describes a stem, root, or similar structure that produces branches rather than growing as a single unbranched shaft, and botanists use it alongside the near-synonyms ramose and ramous. A ramate root system, for example, spreads out into multiple smaller roots rather than relying on one deep taproot. The word comes from the same Latin root as ramify, meaning to branch out.
