Explanation

The formation of small, underground resting, budlike structures called the tubers has also been reported in some mosses. Formerly these underground bud-like structures were called the bulbils. The tubers develop singly on stem, leaves and rhizoids as small, spherical storage organs containing starch. These serve as means of perennation and enable the plant to tide over periods unfavourable for vegetative growth.
