Solution
- The slender lateral branch arising from the base of main axis is known as stolon.
- In some plants it is above ground (wild strawberry).
- Primarily stolon shows upward growth in the form of ordinary branch, but when it bends and touches the ground terminal bud grows into new shoot and develops adventitious roots. e.g. Wild Strawberry, Jasmine, Mentha, etc.
