Question

Growth occurs in only the aerial parts of a plant.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Growth occurs in both the aerial and the underground parts of a plant.

Though the root increases in length, width, new rootlets are formed etc, growth in the underground parts cannot be easily observed. Changes in the aerial parts are easily observed in the form of change in the number of leaves, growth in height of the plant, production of flowers and fruits etc.
