En·do·rhi·za n.; pl. Endorhizæ   Bot. Any monocotyledonous plant; -- so named because many monocotyledons have an endorhizal embryo.
  Note: ☞ Endorhiza was proposed by Richard as a substitute for the term endogen, and exorhiza as a substitute for the term exogen; but they have not been generally adopted.
