This is a picture of a ginger. Gingers are an example of rhizomes. Rhizomes are the thick stem of a plant that usually grows under and along the ground. They often produce and send out roots and shoots where new plants can form from them. Rhizomes are used to store starches and proteins and help the plant to survive any kind of weather underground.
