Abstract
In this study, we observed the rhizome and root anatomy of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) with scanning electron microscopy compared with the anatomy of the culm. The epidermis of culm, rhizome, and root were hard multi-layered and composed silica cells. The culm and rhizome consist of the epidermal, parenchyma, and vascular tissues. Although features of the anatomical structure of the rhizome were similar to those of the culm, the shape and distribution of vascular bundles and parenchyma differed between the organs.
