Plant parts terminology project

Posted July 7, 2026 by Xhin

Ygg trees, ygg branches, etc. I'm thinking yggfloori and yggceili. Canopy definitely works too, plus I can look up related words for a complex of visible roots. Be careful around "lone" references though.

More plant parts -- "wood" and "branches" are *particularly* excessive.

12-Z is using "ygg's branches". I really need better terms for all of these.

14-M is using "ygg branch". Again, need to clearly define these terms.

Rhizoplane, root mass / root mat

Root flare / buttress roots

Cradle knoll

Burls are worth exploring again.

Canopy works well for ceilings.

Sky's the limit

Should really use "stump" instead of "trunk" -- can keep "chopped", though, that is important.

Bole or stalk might work well for ygg trees. Prefixed maybe -- "yggbole"

Tunnels should really be referred to as hollows. Knothole could be used once with more research to add flavor.

"Felled" should be used sometimes for flavor
