When a corm flowers the old corm dies and the plant creates a new one on top of it; bulbs are usually more or less permanent structures.A bulb-like organ, usually growing underground but without the scales (fleshy modified leaves) of a bulb; a corm is in fact a kind of tuber, a condensed stem that stores food material, differing from other tubers in that it forms new corms at the apex and dies off behind at the base. Most cormous plants form a new corm annually. Gardeners often group cormous plants under the general heading of bulbs.A short, bulb-shaped underground stem of a plant such as the autumn crocus, a source of colchicine.The short, underground, bulblike base of a stem that lasts one year, that of the next year growing at the top of the old one.Specialized, fleshy stem bases that function for storage and reproduction."}
