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面扫过苔藓时，细小茎状结构会挠得我发痒。这些茎从苔藓中，被称为孢子体，每个孢子体末端有一个孢子。

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

大头菜粗大部分也是茎，它大得子也有螺旋状结构。

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

茎提供了植物结构框架，无论是娇嫩雏菊茎还是粗壮树干——是，树干就是茎！

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眼睛，这些眼睛长在肉质茎状结构上。

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

植物结构部分，如不再积极生长木本茎，可能比生长组织含有更少水分。
