Definition
A branch (PO:0025073) that is prostrate or trailing, and produces adventitious nodal roots (PO:0003005) and sometimes erect shoots. Source: APweb:Glossary, POC:curators
Comment
The stolon develops from an axillary bud (PO:0004709) and produces adventitious roots (PO:0003005) at the nodes and a terminal aerial stem. That stem then sends out one or more stolons from its axillary buds and the process is reiterated. Stolons may be above ground, as with strawberries, or below ground as in potatoes.
