Solution

The correct option is B Tuber
Tuber is a thickened part of a stem which grows underground. Tubers have bud from which a new plant can arise by vegetative propagation. In vegetative propagation, the top sides of tuber produce shoots and the under sides produce roots. Potato is a modified stem called a tuber.
Rhizomes are underground stems that grows horizontally below the surface.
Corm is an underground swollen stem base covered with scale leaves.
Phyllode is a petiole which is leaf-like structurally and functionally
So, the correct answer is 'Tuber'
