Does eddoes grow from roots?
Yes, eddoes, which are a type of taro, grow from corms rather than traditional roots. The corms are underground storage organs that produce shoots and new corms, allowing the plant to propagate. While the plant does have roots, the corms are the main structure from which the plant grows and develops.

What do lily pad seeds look like?
They don't reproduce by seeds. They are corms, or tubers, and reproduce by making new corms, or tubers.
How do gladiolus reproduce?
The gladiolus is an annual blooming plant that grows from an underground, bulbous structure called a corm. Each winter, the plant sheds its leaves and stems, then produces new ones in the spring from the corm as it comes out of winter. Corms serve the same purpose as a seed or bulb does. A corm is a structure with no actual layers. Corms tend to be smaller than ¾ in diameter; and those sized corms do not usually produce a flower. But the corms that are 1 and ¼ in diameter are found to be the normal size for flowering. If you want to insure that the corm you plant will grow flowers, it is recommended that you plant full and thick corms. Corms are round and fat. When planting corms they need to be planted six to eight inches apart from each other. They also they need to be inserted five inches into the ground and planted with the pointed side up. Gladiolus can reproduce by cross pollination between unisexual or imperfect flowers.
How long should I soak ranunculus corms before planting them?
Soak ranunculus corms in water for about 12-24 hours before planting to help them absorb moisture and nutrients for better growth.
What are the examples of a specialized stems?
tubers, corms and prickles (like a rose has)
Can corms be split before sowing?
if you are talking about the brown skin, yes
What plant is propagated by corm?
One common plant propagated by corms is the taro (Colocasia esculenta). Corms are swollen underground stems that store nutrients, allowing the plant to regenerate and grow new shoots. Other examples include gladiolus and crocus, which also utilize corms for propagation. This method is effective for producing new plants quickly and efficiently.
How many corm are there?
The number of corms can vary widely depending on the plant species and growing conditions. Corms are a type of underground storage organ that some plants, like crocuses and taro, produce. To determine the exact number of corms, one would need to examine a specific plant or area where they are growing. If you provide more context, I can offer a more precise answer.
Does a eddo plant store food in the stem?
Yes, the eddo plant, also known as taro (Colocasia esculenta), stores food primarily in its corms, which are thickened underground stems. These corms serve as a storage organ, allowing the plant to store energy and nutrients. While the stem itself is not the primary storage organ, it supports the leaves and flowers while connecting to the corms.
