What does RAMET mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
An individual, physically independent member of a clone, produced from a single parent organism by vegetative or asexual reproduction.
A ramet shares the exact genes of the parent organism, called the ortet, because it grew from a runner, cutting, bud or similar vegetative process rather than from a seed, so a whole grove of trees or a whole strawberry patch can consist of many ramets that are genetically one and the same individual. Botanists contrast a ramet with a genet, the genetically distinct individual that first arose from seed, since a single genet can eventually produce thousands of separate ramets across a wide area. The famous aspen colony known as Pando is often described this way, a single genet expressed as tens of thousands of ramets that only look like separate trees above ground.
