I referred to ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CULTIVATED ORCHIDS by A. D. Hawkes ISBN 0 571 065023.
The glossary on page533 gives his definition - produced out of the usual or normal place.
I discovered this word when reading about the tree genus Ficus that produces ' adventitious roots from its trunk '
I am sure there must be a more scientific way of describing roots than, trash, rubbish or garbage
