短释义：
Garlic, onions, and shallots are all bulbs, and many flowering plants also grow from underground bulbs, like lilies and daffodils. A different type of bulb is a light bulb, which shares the rounded shape of the plant version. The meaning of bulb in the 16th century was simply “onion,” from the Greek bolbos, “plant with round swelling on underground stem.”
球茎是某些植物的圆形、泪状部分。如果你种下球茎，就会开出一朵花。灯泡也是灯泡的缩写。不过，不要尝试种植这种植物，因为灯不会长在树上。

A different type of bulb is a light bulb, which shares the rounded shape of the plant version. The meaning of bulb in the 16th century was simply “onion,” from the Greek bolbos, “plant with round swelling on underground stem.”
大蒜、洋葱和青葱都是球茎，许多开花植物也从地下球根生长，如百合和水仙花。另一种不同类型的灯泡是灯泡，它具有植物版本的圆形形状。在 16 世纪，球茎的意思只是“洋葱”，源自希腊语 bolbos，“地下茎上有圆形肿胀的植物”。
