Final answer:
Red clover is the forage legume that does not spread by either stolons or rhizomes; it grows from a crown and relies on seeding for propagation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The forage legume that does not spread by either stolons or rhizomes is Red clover.Red clover (Trifolium pratense) generally grows from a crown located at the soil surface. Unlike white clover and creeping clovers such as kura clover, it does not possess stolons or rhizomes. Stolons are horizontal stems that grow above the ground and root at nodes to create new plants, while rhizomes are underground stems that also can spread to produce new shoots. The absence of these vegetative propagation structures means that red clover primarily relies on seed production for dispersal and establishment in a pasture or field.
Cicer milkvetch also lacks stolons and rhizomes, but it differs from red clover in that cicer milkvetch has a deep-tap root system and spreads primarily through seed, while red clover does have shallow creeping stems but does not produce rhizomes or stolons.
