stolon
Horizontal plant stem
A stolon is a horizontal stem that grows along the ground and produces new plants at its nodes.
Strawberries spread by stolons, sending out runners that root and establish daughter plants.
In zoology, stolons are similar structures connecting colonial organisms like coral polyps.
The term appears mainly in biology and horticulture.
