Gesneriads are divided culturally into three groups on the basis of whether, and how, their stems are modified into storage organs : rhizomatous, tuberous, and " fibrous-rooted ", meaning those that lack such storage structures ( although all gesneriads have fibrous roots ).

Vesicles are lipid storage organs of AMF and these and the hyphae in the soil contain the fatty acids 18 : 2 w6c ( often used as an indicator of fungal content of the PLFA analysis ) as well as containing the fatty acid 16 : 1 w5c which has been recommended as a biomarker for AMF.

A practical, but unscientific, horticultural definition is " a succulent plant is any desert plant that a succulent plant collector wishes to grow . " Such plants less often include geophytes ( in which the swollen storage organ is wholly underground ) but do include plants with a caudex, which is a swollen above-ground organ at soil level, formed from a stem, a root or both.
