A short vertical, underground shoot that has modified leaves or thickened leaf bases prominently developed as food-storage organs.
Modified short, underground stem surrounded by a row of fleshy leaves with thickened bases (e.g., Onion).
Cluster of fleshy storage leaves gathered tightly together on a short stem axis, forming what is called an “underground organ”; an onion is an example.

A round part at the end of an organ or bone.
A (usually) underground storage organ consisting of swollen leaf bases, each encircling the next inner one, as in an onion, or consisting of overlapping scales, as in liliums. The flowering stem of bulbous plants grows up through the middle of the bulb.
