Reproduction
bamboo is a very unique plant. it can reproduce sexually and asexually. sexual reproduction is the same as a normal plant, using polon. It also atracts animals by using flowers.when it reproduces asexually, it uses the underground roots called rhizomes. by doing this it can reproduce close and far away.
The Life cycle of bamboo has three main stages. 1, Reproduction. Bamboo uses seeds to reproduce but primarly uses rhizomes to spread.its seeded reproduction is the same as other plants 2. Growth, bamboo is either clumping or running. clumping forms a dense mass of bamboo. running spreads the bamboo out . and 3, Flowering, When bamboo flowers or releases its seeds, it means the bamboo is about to die. it releases its seeds when it knows its going to die.
Rhizomes
Sprouts
Bamboo has quite alot of adaptations, First of all, it has learned to spread anywhere. Second, it developed a tip on the top to pierce hard ground. its hard enough to go through a human body. Courtesy of mythbusters. It also doesn't purely rely on seeds to spread. it can spread through underground roots called rhizomes. the roots spread and new bamboo comes out of them. And if it gets cut, it can still spread and survive. It also doesnt spread its seeds until its almost dead.
