Pseudostems - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The pseudostem is composed of the rolled and encircled leaf sheaths that emerge from the compact true stem at the base of the pseudostem; the internodes in this true stem remain very short (Carr, 2009). The vertical physical support of the shoot is entirely dependent on the leaf sheaths of the pseudostem.
