Perennation
In botany, perennation is the ability of organisms, particularly plants, to survive from one germinating season to another, especially under unfavourable conditions such as drought or winter. It typically involves development of a perennating organ, which stores enough nutrients to sustain the organism during the unfavourable season, and develops into one or more new plants the following year. Common forms of perennating organs are storage organs (e.g. tubers, rhizomes and corm), and buds. Perennation is closely related with vegetative reproduction, as the organisms commonly use the same organs for both survival and reproduction.

perennation
Perennation is a biological strategy in which an organism ensures its survival or the continuation of its life cycle, especially through unfavorable conditions or periods (like winter, drought, etc), by producing specialized structures such as bulbs, tubers, or seeds, or in some cases, by remaining dormant or inactive. This term is often used in the fields of botany and horticulture.
