A '''stolon''', commonly referred to as a '''runner''', is an aerial shoot from a [[plant]] with the ability to produce [[adventitious roots]] and new [[clone]]s of the same plant. Such plants are called stoloniferous. A stolon is a [[plant propagation]] strategy akin to a [[rhizome]]. The complex formed by a mother plant and all its clones connected by stolons is considered to form a single individual.  

A [[shoot]] that bends to the ground and takes [[root]]; more commonly, a horizontal [[stem]] at or below surface of the ground that gives rise to a new plant at its tip.{{SCH}}
