In botany, a stolon—often referred to as a runner—is a specialized, slender horizontal stem that facilitates asexual reproduction in plants.1

These stems grow horizontally along the surface of the ground, extending away from the parent plant. At specific intervals known as nodes, the stolon produces roots and aerial, vertical branches. When these nodes make proper contact with a moist soil surface, they take root and develop into new, independent plantlets.123

A classic example of this process is the strawberry (Fragaria), which utilizes these runners to spread and multiply. Because this is a form of vegetative reproduction, the resulting offspring are genetically identical clones of the parent plant.32
