Root Explanation

Internode → It is formed from "inter-" (meaning between) and "nodus" (meaning knot or joint). The word "internode" refers to the segment of a plant stem between two nodes, or the parts that are located between the joints.

Memory Tip

Think of parts that are located 'between' ('inter-') the 'joints' ('nodus') of a plant stem — that's what an internode is.
