The following is a list of rhizome plants according to type of storage organ.
Rhizomes are thick, fleshy, horizontal underground stems.
Foliage, roots and flowers grow from buds on the rhizome. Rhizomes generally creep or spread, unlike tubers. Rhizomes are usually divided so pieces contain at least one fan or group of foliage and significant amount of roots. Copyright 1995 by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois.
