Ing tanduran vaskuler, oyot iku salah siji organ tanduran sing biasane kependhem ing ngisor lapisan tanah. Hal iki dudu pakem, amarga ana oyot sing aerial (tuwuh ing ndhuwur lapisan tanah) utawa aerating (tuwuh sakndhuwure tanah utawa terutama ing ndhuwur banyu). Opo meneh, batang sing biasane mulai nang ngisor tanah iku uga ora mesthi (delok rhizome). Dadi, mendingan ngartekake oyot dadi bagian saka awak tanduran sing ora ono godhong e, and therefore also lacks nodes. There are also important internal structural differences between stems and roots.
