Wikipedia
geophytic
A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water. Storage organs often grow underground, where they are better protected from attack by herbivores. Plants that have an underground storage organ are called geophytes in the Raunkiær plant life-form classification system. Storage organs often, but not always, act as perennating organs which enable plants to survive adverse conditions (such as cold, excessive heat, lack of light or drought).

geophytic
Geophytic refers to a type of plant that has a survival mechanism enabling them to survive unfavorable conditions such as cold or drought, by storing nutrients and water in an underground part of the plant, such as a bulb, corm, or tuber. These geophytes remain dormant in the ground when conditions are unfavorable and initiate growth when conditions improve. Examples of geophytes include tulips, onions, and daffodils.
