State
Modified stems include the horizontal rhizome, the fleshy corm, the ground-level stolon, the above-ground runner, the starch-storing tuber, and the layered bulb.

Watch for
Tendrils and thorns are aerial stem modifications too, for climbing support and defense, not roots or leaves as they appear.
