What does STROMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
The supporting tissue or framework of an organ or cell, as distinct from the working part it holds up.
In biology a stroma is the scaffold that gives an organ its shape while other cells do its main job, as in the kidney or the eye. Botanists use the word for the fluid-filled space inside a chloroplast, where sugar is built, and mycologists use it for a cushion of fungal tissue that bears spores. The term was borrowed from Greek, where it meant a mattress or covering spread out.
