geophyte
A geophyte is a type of plant that has evolved to withstand unfavorable weather conditions such as harsh winters or droughts by developing specialized underground storage organs, such as bulbs, tubers or rhizomes. These organs store nutrients and allow the plant to survive and regrow when favorable conditions return. Examples of geophytes include tulips, garlic, and onions.
