Plural of geophyte; multiple plants that survive using underground food storage structures.
Standard English plural of geophyte, adding the -s suffix. The plural term is common in botany and plant ecology when discussing multiple species with this survival strategy.
Geophytes include some of the most delicious crops we eat—potatoes, onions, and garlic—because we're literally harvesting their hidden survival supplies! Ancient farmers probably noticed that plants with underground treasure chests were perfect to domesticate.
