This causes the cells of the abscission zone to break apart and the leaf or other plant part to fall off. [6] Another way detachment occurs is through imbibition of water. [ 6 ] The plant cells at the abscission zone will take in a large amount of water, swell, and eventually burst, making the organ fall off. [ 6 ]

Thus, the leaves of summer ...
The offspring or new tubers are attached to a parent tuber or form at the end of a hypogeogenous (initiated below ground) rhizome. In the autumn the plant dies, except for the new offspring tubers, which have one dominant bud that in spring regrows a new shoot producing stems and leaves; in summer the tubers decay and new tubers begin to grow.
