Stolon
Definition:
(n.) A trailing branch which is disposed to take root at the end or at the joints; a stole.
(n.) An extension of the integument of the body, or of the body wall, from which buds are developed, giving rise to new zooids, and thus forming a compound animal in which the zooids usually remain united by the stolons. Such stolons are often present in Anthozoa, Hydroidea, Bryozoa, and social ascidians. See Illust. under Scyphistoma.
Example Sentences:
(1) If the compounds are applied in a pulse during metamorphosis, a large part of the available tissue forms stolons.
