👉 A rhizomatous plant is a type of plant that has underground roots and shoots. These roots are responsible for transporting water, nutrients, and other substances from the soil to the leaves or stems of the plant. Rhizoma, which is the root part of the plant, contains a network of tiny, white roots called hyphae that form a network-like structure in the soil. The rhizome helps plants to grow by providing support and water for the shoots.
