How to use "Rachis" in context?
Rachis is a dense array of spindles that arises from the megaspore under the leadership of the apical meristem. The spindles elongate and thicken until the thin, ribbon-like rachis is formed.
The rachis gives the leaves their characteristic twisted appearance. Rachises also arise from the root system and support the stem.
