- You might think of a bulb as a very large seed that the plants use to regenerate each year. It is a circular component at the base of the stems of some plants that stores energy while the plants are dormant. At the center of the bulb is a shoot that is encircled by fleshy scale layers and united at the base by a compact stem known as the basal plate. These plants, often known as "bulb plants" or "bulbs," are propagated using these bulbs.
