When you are dividing you will also come across long skinny things which I've heard referred to as runners. If I'm going to make a break it will be in th middle of a runner.

There is also some debate wheter a runner will make a plant. Also, will a broken tuber make a plant. A friend of mine who use to grow lotus commercially says she has experienced yes to both of those questions. I don't bother with broken ones if I have enough. I'm too afraid something will rot and get other stuff to rot.

This section within the two fuzzy bits is what I would call a runner.
