Question

Find out the wrongly matched pair

• A. tuber - potato
• B. rhizome - ginger
• C. bulbil - Agave
• D. leaf buds - banana
• E. offset - water hyacinth

Answer 1

The correct option is D leaf buds - banana

Vegetative propagation is a type of reproduction where the new plant part develops from any part of the plant other than the reproductive part.

The potato is a stem modification to store food and known as a tuber. It has 'eyes'.

Ginger propagates by the help of rhizome.

Agave is a plant in which the propagation takes place by bulbils.

In banana, the modification is a sucker and the propagation takes place by it.

The offset is a mode of the formation of a new plant in water hyacinth or Eichhornia.

So, the correct option is 'leaf buds - banana'.
