Pumpkin plants primarily develop from a type of stem known as a vine, which can be considered a type of runner stem. These vines spread out horizontally along the ground, producing roots and new shoots at various nodes. While they do not produce stolons in the traditional sense, their sprawling growth habit allows them to propagate and cover a larger area, similar to runners.

The plant stem you are referring to is called a "stolon." Stolons are specialized stems that grow horizontally above the ground and produce roots at the nodes when they come in contact with the soil, allowing the plant to spread and form new individuals.

No, a stolon is not a hypha. A stolon is a horizontal stem that grows above the ground and produces new plants at its nodes, while a hypha is a thread-like filament that makes up the body of multicellular fungi.
A stolon that forms across the top of the ground is typically referred to as a runner. Runners are horizontal stems that grow along the soil surface and give rise to new plants at the nodes. They are commonly seen in plants like strawberries and creeping bentgrass.
A creeping stem of a grass plant that grows above ground is called a stolon. Stolons help the plant spread horizontally by producing new roots and shoots at nodes along the stem. They enable the grass plant to form new individual plants connected to the parent plant.

Pumpkins grow from seeds, but they do have a stem as well.
