'''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.{{book ref|sa1|1}} 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.
