What does TOROSE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
botanyzoology
Cylindrical in shape but marked at intervals with rounded swellings or slight constrictions, giving a knobbly or bulging appearance.
Botanists apply torose to roots, stems, pods or other plant parts that swell and narrow repeatedly along their length, rather than staying evenly cylindrical, and zoologists use the same term for similarly knobbed body parts in invertebrates. The pattern of alternating bulges and narrower sections is what distinguishes a torose structure from one that is simply thick or swollen all over. The related spelling torous describes exactly the same feature.
