A stolon is a horizontal hyphal structure that grows above the substrate, allowing for the asexual reproduction of fungi by spreading and forming new colonies at its nodes. In contrast, a rhizoid is a root-like structure that typically grows underground or within the substrate, anchoring the fungus and aiding in nutrient absorption. While both serve to support fungal growth and reproduction, stolons focus on spreading, whereas rhizoids are primarily involved in anchorage and nutrient uptake.
What else can I help you with?
A fungal thread that runs horizontally across the surface of an object?
The fungal thread you are describing is likely a mycelium, which is the vegetative part of a fungus consisting of a network of filaments. Mycelium grows by extending hyphae horizontally to obtain nutrients from its surroundings and spread throughout its environment. It plays a vital role in nutrient cycling and decomposition in ecosystems.
A fleshy enlarged end of a rhizome or stolon is called a what in plants?
A fleshy enlarged end of a rhizome or stolon is called a tuber. Tubers serve as storage organs for nutrients and energy, allowing the plant to survive adverse conditions and regenerate in the next growing season. The most well-known example of a tuber is the potato.
What are some examples of above the ground runner plants?
There are many plants, although you must remember they produce runners as well as flowers and seeds to reproduce, although in most the runner is the dominant form of reproduction: Examples are: Strawberry plants Ivy (although it is a climber it will root where it touches the soil) Chlorophytum
Maximum height for Saint Augustine grass?
tropical and subtropical creeping stoloniferouse perennial grass. height (length) of the stolon can vary. if used as a lawn no more than 4cm, else you face possible problems with fungi and thatching
What is the structure of fern?
Ferns have roots, stems, and leaves. The leaves are called fronds and typically have a compound structure with leaflets. Ferns reproduce through spores, which are produced in structures called sporangia.
What is the difference between Stolon and Rhizoid?
rhizoids are below-ground, stolons are above-ground

A fleshy enlarged end of a rhizome or stolon is called a?
a tuber
Is a stolon a hypha?
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 a?
runner
What type of stem is Saint Augustine grass?
runner/stolon
What is the function of stolon?
It asexually reproduces to make more filaments.
How many stolon bases did ty cobb get in 1909?
76
Is bread mold able to penetrate the bread by means of zygospores?
Yes,but is another type of spores.
What are the types of underground stem?
Bulb, Corm, Rhizome, Stolon, Tuber.
What is a long and trailing plant stem that produces roots when it touches the ground?
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.
