The iris is a favorite plant of many, but most believe the plant is a bulb, when it's actually an underground stem called a rhizome.
Rhizomes
The fleshy portion at the roots of a canna is called a rhizome, which is a general term for a stem that grows horizontally. Some of the best known rhizomes are ginger, bamboo and many irises.

How to dig, store and replant bulbs and rhizomes
Bulbs as well as perennials should be dug and divided in early spring, or in the fall when the plants are dormant.
Rhizomes/Bulbs
More than an annual, less than a perennial, the lifespan for bulbs and rhizomes will vary, based on the cultivar.
Rhizomes and Bulbs
While some iris species are rhizomatic, others grow from bulbs. Trimming foliage excessively or too early can limit rhizome and bulb growth for the next season.
Rhizome
A thick underground stem from which buds and roots develop. Usually persistent from year to year.
Rhizome forming grasses, also called running grasses, spread by underground stems. They can become both invasive and aggressive.
Rhizome- A horizontal underground stem with buds and roots thats usually branched and often appears enlarged by food storage.
Runner- A stem that grows on the surface of the soil that often develops new plants at the nodes or the tip.
Rhizome: Like a bulb, this provides storage. It is again a modified stem and lies horizontally in the soil producing roots along its length.

RHIZOME - A thickened stem which grows horizontally below or on the soil surface, as in iris rhizomes.
ROCK GARDEN - An area constructed of larger rocks arranged to look natural. Planted with plants that generally do not need a lot of care.
rhizome A thickened underground stem that grows horizontally with bud eyes on top and roots below. Bearded iris is an example of a plant that produces rhizomes.
rhizosphere The thin layer of soil immediately surrounding plant roots.
Rhizomes: Irises grow from a rhizome, a horizontal fleshy stem that grows underground or at ground level. Most of the rhizome will die off after flowering and needs to be cut off.
RHIZOME: An underground, horizontal stem.
ROCK GARDEN: An area constructed of larger rocks arranged to look natural.

Rhizomes are underground stems that are often enlarged to store food for storage. Bearded iris and daylily are examples.
Rhizome
A thick stem or rootstock that grows horizontally along or below the soil surface and every so often on the top or side of the rhizome, it sends stems above ground. Stems that have buds with scalelike leaves.
Rhizome
Similar to tubers, but longer in shape. Examples: Iris, Cala Lily.
Root bound ...
Set rhizomes four to six inches deep and one to two feet apart. Fertilize each spring, after planting them, using 5-10-5 or 5-10-10. After frost has killed the foliage, dig up the rhizomes and store them in a peatmoss, vermiculite, or perlite.
Each rhizome should be positioned horizontally over a small mound in a shallow hole. Fill the hole with soil that allows for good drainage.
Iris rhizomes
The roots attached to the rhizome need to be covered with soil. Position the rhizome so that the fan of leaves faces the direction in which you want the plant to grow. Allow 12 to 15 inches between each plant.
The old rhizomes store the plant's energy for next year, so you'll want at least part of one on each division.

Larkspurs are Rhizomes. You can separate the rhizomes of established plants and replant in new areas.
How to Grow Larkspur Plants: ...
You can start the rhizomes indoors in full sun. Plant them so that the tips is just below soil level, the rough nubby side up. They sould come up in a couple of weeks. Water and keep moist but not wet.
Planting Banana Rhizomes
Dig a hole about a foot wide and ten to twelve inches deep. Set the rhizome in the hole so that the union between it and the sucker stem are about six inches deep.
Plant the dormant rhizomes with bud tips upright in a spot with open shade, good air circulation, and moist, well-drained soil that has a neutral pH. Amend the planting area with equal quantities of perlite and leaf mold.
Very easy to store; rhizomes overwinter well in cardboard box covered with newspaper, no need to use peat moss; start early for best size and bloom.
Dahlia Dahlia hybrids ...
(Gr. ge, earth; phyton, plant) plants with an underground dormant part such as a tuber, bulb, rhizome, etc. to help the plant survive adverse conditions.gibberellins search for term- n.
You can always tell the top of the rhizome from the bottom because the tips from which new growth will arise point upward. Be careful not to snap off these delicate tips.
This is especially the case with herbaceous perennials which die back to merely a rhizome or root system with no above-ground growth at all. These plants include Delphiniums, Hostas, Perennial Phlox and many, many more.
The causal fungus of spring dead spot attacks the roots, crowns, stolons, and rhizomes of susceptible bermudagrasses in the fall of the year and again in spring, even though symptoms of infection cannot be seen from above.
Although the frond (leaf) is the most conspicuous part of any fern, the rhizomes (stems) run the show in production of leaves and stems, food storage, and in some cases, reproduction.
Gardeners buy the rhizomes during the growing season and plant them immediately just below the surface. As the clump spreads, the center may not bloom as vigorously. Clumps are usually divided about every three years to keep them vigorous.
Each autumn I split clumps or separate the carpet-forming rhizomes and set them where I need to fill space.
When choosing bulbs ( or rhizomes, corms, and tubers, which we collectively call bulbs, and are generally planted in the same manner), look for large bulbs, which are firm and blemish free. The size of the bulb determines the size of the flower.
Others are "Rhizomes". And, others still, are called "tubers" and "tuberous roots". ....Right!?! Well, not exactly. But, most people fondly refer to all of these as "bulbs". Many people don't know the difference.
Tuberous roots are root tissue, unlike tubers, rhizomes, and corms which are stem tissue, and bulbs which are leaf tissue. There are no buds or "eyes" as in rhizomes or tubes.
Lemon balm reproduces primarily through underground rhizomes. Or you can propagate lemon balm by taking cuttings (summer) from existing plants, or by digging up existing plants and dividing them (divide in the spring or fall).
-- which begin to form on an iris rhizome. These growths will eventually sprout sword-like leaves, which continue to grow until it becomes an independent iris plant, only to repeat the cycle.
Increases are young plants attached to the mother rhizome.
1. With a spading fork or a spade, gently lift rhizomes from the ground and shake off soil. With a knife, cut the parent rhizome into segments so each has its own leaf fan. With pruning shears, trim leaves to about 6 inches.
Stems may be adapted for food storage, such as tubers, corms, bulbs, or rhizomes. They may also be specialized as runners, tendrils, or thorns. The tendrils of Vitis spp. (grapes) and Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper) are modified stems.
These orchids grow horizontally, sending out new shoots from the old rhizome. Leaves and flower scapes form at the top of the new shoots.
If you are new at dividing hostas or other perennials, washing the dirt off the clump can be very helpful to see the individual plants and their rhizomes (from where the roots grow).
There are also corms, rhizomes, and tubers, which also have unique food-storing capabilities and grow in similar ways. If you haven't tried growing bulbs yet, now is the time to consider it.
Start an early batch of achimenes into growth by placing the scaly rhizomes in shallow trays of moist peat, maintaining a temperature of 13 - 15°2C (55-60°F). When the shoots are about 2.
DON'T dump pieces (stems, rhizomes, roots) or invasive ground covers on your compost pile.
DON'T share aggresive or invasive ground covers with your gardening friends.
