Definitions

  1. Any plant having a proper stem or axis of growth, which is distinct from its leaves, phyllophyte

Word origin

From Ancient Greek κορμός (kormós, “trunk stripped of its boughs”) -phyte (“plant”); see also corm (“swollen underground stem”), Latin cormus. By surface analysis, cormo- + -phyte.

Used in a sentence

  • Botany used to recognize, if vaguely, these two kinds of plant, namely the thallophyte which grew and absorbed superficially, and the cormophyte, which is the root-shoot system with internal accommodation.
  • The morphology of cormophytes exhibits considerable variations in size, appearance of the various parts, and duration of the life cycle.
