Plants and Beyond for
hard to find Flowering Bulbs
and RootsA bulb is an underground
vertical shoot that has modified leaves (or thickened leaf bases) that are used
as food storage organs by a dormant plant.
A bulb's leaf
bases generally do not support leaves, but contain food reserves to enable the
plant to survive adverse conditions. The leaf bases may overlap and surround the
center of the bulb as with lilies, or may completely surround the inner regions
of the bulb, as with the onion. A modified stem forms the base of the bulb, and
plant growth occurs from this basal plate. Roots emerge from the underside of
the base, and new stems and leaves from the upper side.
