'''Rockbuds''' are plants with rock-like shells native to [[Roshar]]. The term refers to all plants that have shells as well as to the "true" or "common" rockbud.{{file ref|Rockbuds.jpg|Shallan's sketchbook: Rockbuds}} The shell protects the more sensitive organism within from [[highstorm]]s. After storms, tendrils reach out of the bud to lap up the water on the ground. Rockbuds have also been seen to ingest [[Chasmfiend]] blood.{{book ref|sa1|15}}
== Uses ==
Rockbuds provide a variety of uses. They contain watergourds which can be used for medicinal purposes, provide food for both [[chull]] and human consumption, and dried rockbud pulp is used in paper making.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} Though they do not burn as well as wood, the shells may be used as fuel for fire as the exterior creates a barrier between the interior and moisture.{{book ref|sa3|17}} The inside of certain rockbud shells can also be shredded to create textiles.{{wob ref|6344}} Many archers on Roshar, both human and [[Listener|Parshendi]] use certain types of rockbud leaves to fletch their arrows.{{wob ref|12838}}
