What does STOLON mean in Scrabble?
noun
botanyzoology
A creeping stem that grows along or just under the ground and produces new plants or animal colonies at its tip or nodes.
A stolon lets a plant spread sideways without producing seed, since roots and a new shoot form wherever the stem touches soil and takes hold. Strawberries and many grasses multiply this way, sending out a stolon that roots at intervals and becomes a separate plant once established. Botanists distinguish a stolon from a rhizome mainly by position: a stolon runs along the surface, while a rhizome grows underground. The same word also names the branching stalk that joins colonial animals such as hydroids, where each new stolon supports another feeding individual.
