Rhizome is a STEM because the young leaves and adventitious roots grow from it.
A rhizome stores its food reserve in the form of starch in specialized storage cells called parenchyma cells located in the enlarged underground stem structure.
A rhizome is an underground stem that can produce new leaves and roots. It grows horizontally underground and can send out shoots and roots at various points. Examples of plants with rhizomes include ginger, bamboo, and iris.
Rhizome
Ginger is the name of the entire plant. The bulbous parts you see in shops are actually called 'Rhizomes', however most places call them 'ginger root' to avoid confusion(the actual roots grow out of the Rhizomes, and they are rarely used in food). The leaves can be used to flavour food, and the flowers are also edible.
The underground stem of a fern is called a rhizome. It grows horizontally underground and produces roots below the soil and fronds above ground. Rhizomes allow ferns to spread and colonize new areas.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is from the root or underground stem (rhizome).

No, an iris is not a rhizome. A rhizome is a modified stem that grows horizontally underground and sends out roots and shoots. Irises have a rhizomatous root system, but the iris itself is not a rhizome.
It called rhizome
The frond or leaf grows directly from the root system as ferns do not have a true stem
rhizome is a characteristically horizontal stem of a plant that is usually found underground, often sending out roots and shoots from its nodes while root is a part of a plant body that bears no leaves, and therefore also lacks nodes
ginger is called an underground stem or a rhizome because it looks and acts like a root but it is different from a root because it usually grows horizontally. Rhizomes usually produce aerial stems and underground roots from these buds.
