The runner-root algorithm: A metaheuristic for solving unimodal and multimodal optimization problems inspired by runners and roots of plants in nature

•A new optimization algorithm inspired by the plants propagated through runners is proposed.•Global search with random large steps is performed at all iterations (exploration).•Local search with random small steps (exploitation) is performed only if global search fails.•Local search is performed by...
