Solution

The correct option is E Phyllode
Phyllode is a leaf modification. Modification of leaf petiole results in the formation of phyllode. It is a xerophytic adaptation. Cladode and phylloclade are stem modification. All these perform photosynthesis. Corm is a modified stem. It stores the food. Rhizome is a modified stem. It forms new root and shoot upwards.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Phyllode.'
