Rockbuds are a plant with a rock-like shell on Roshar. The term refers to an entire family of plants as well as to a single plant: The "True" or "Common" Rockbud.[1]
The shell protects the more sensitive organism within from Highstorms. Just after the storm, tendrils reach out of the bud to lap up the water on the ground.
