- 7. a thick, modified underground plant stem with scaly leaves and buds from which new plants grow.
- 8. the process of using tissue culture to create new plants. An asexual plant reproduction method in which a single plant cell is placed in a special nutrient growing medium, and grown into an entire plant.
- 10. a small opening on a plant stem that controls air and water leaving the plant.
