what is a bulb/geophyte

hi mary sue,
i don't want to open up another pandora's box, but...
i can see in the wiki a few genera that ,while
terribly interesting to me, would not fit within the
criteria of bulbs/geophytes. for example the "woody"
Iridaceae or Vellozia.
Aponogeton on the other hand are sold as
tubers/rhizomes in the aquaria trade.

We saw Aponogeton in South Africa. It is interesting
to read that you got
it to grow in a freshwater aquarium. I was
fascinated by it. It is
apparently both edible and aquatic. If you have
pictures of it and want to
add them, I'd have no objection.
As you know, this wiki administrator is more
inclusive than exclusive. If
someone can make a case for our including a plant in
the wiki because it is
a bulb, corm, rhizome, tuber, has tuberous roots
when it is growing, etc.,
we'd allow it.
We already have a few plants pictured on the wiki
that are sometimes
aquatic when in growth.
