The genetic individual of a plant that is composed of a number of nearly identical but repeated units.

The organism developed from a zygote. The term is used especially for modular organisms and members of a clone to define the genetic individual and to contrast with 'ramet' the potentially physiologically independent part that may arise from the iterative process by which modular organisms grow.

A genet is a population of plants growing in tight proximity which are all genetically identical. Although many plants reproduce sexually through the production of seed, some plants reproduce by underground stolons or rhizomes. Above ground these plants appear to be distinct individuals, but underground they remain interconnected and are all clones of the same plant.
