Solution
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) are offset in which a lateral branch is with short internodes and each node bears a rosette of leaves and a tuff of roots. Runner is a slender lateral branch which arises from the base of the main axis and after growing aerially for some time arches downwards to tuch the ground, e.g., doob grass, mint, jasmine, etc.
