Culm (botany)

A culm is the aerial (above-ground) stem of a grass or sedge. It is derived from Latin culmus, meaning "stalk." It originally referred to the stem of any type of plant.

In horticulture or agriculture, it is especially used to describe the stalk or woody stems of bamboo, cane or grain grasses.
