Cormus Knowpia

Cormus (PL: cormi) (from ancient Greek: κορμός, kormόs, 'stem') is the appearance of a plant that belong to Cormophyte (Pteridophyte and Spermatophyte).^[1]^[2] In cormus, the vegetative apparatus is no longer a thallus, such as algae, that cannot be distinctly differentiated.^[1] The structure of cormus can be easily differentiated into its roots, stems, and leaves.^[2]

In the sense of Ernst Haeckel, cormus is a plant or "colonia" animal made up of a number of individuals which originate by gemmation or budding.^[3] As applied to animals, cormus is equivalent to polypidom.^[3]
