As I carefully brush the backs of my fingers against moss beds, tiny stalk-like beings tickle me. Jutting out of moss leaves, these stalks are known as sporophytes; each sporophyte contains a capsule of spores at its outermost end.

当我小心翼翼地用手指背苔藓时，细小的茎状结构会挠得我发痒。这些茎从苔藓叶中探出来，被称为孢子体，每个孢子体的末端有一个孢子。

The chunky part of kohlrabi is also a stem, and its much larger leaves have spiral phyllotaxy as well.

大头菜粗大的部分也茎，它的大得多的叶子也有螺旋叶状结构。

Stems provide the structural framework of the plant, whether dainty daisy stems or thick tree trunks — yes, tree trunks are stems!

茎提供了植物的结构框架，娇嫩的雏菊茎还粗壮的树干——的，树干就茎！

It also apparently had eyes that flopped around on the sides of its body attached to these fleshy stalks.

它显然还有一双可以左右摇晃的眼睛，这些眼睛长在肉质的茎状结构上。

Structural parts of plants, such as woody stems no longer actively growing, may have much less water than growing tissues.

植物的结构部分，如不再积极生长的木本茎，可能比生长组织含有更少的水分。
