Pip garden and normal plants :

 "Pip" is perhaps derived from the word, "pippin", which refers to alittle seed or a plant grown from a seed. Some old apple varieties are referred to as pippins. There are several definitions of "pip." The one you've got in mind is: "a single rootstock or flower of lily-of-the-valley, peony, etc." (Webster's New World Dictionary, the planet Publishing Co., NY.)

Many plants like lily-of-the-valley (Convallaria), liriope and mondo (Ophiopogon) produce new plants as offshoots from their bases. As many offshoots are produced a clump is made . The offshoots are complete plants with roots and leaves, are often divided from the parent plants when mature and safely planted elsewhere.

Another similar word used less frequently is "bib", which is perhaps a corruption of "pip." i do not use "pip" or "bib" considerably any longer because they're obscure, except among some gardeners. So to market clarity, I ask small single rootstocks as offshoots, divisions or just as plants.
