Solution

The correct option is E The Assertion is false but Reason is true.
Rhizomes (eg., Ginger), tubers (eg., Potato) and corms (eg., Colocasia) are underground storage stems which can be used for vegetative propagation. Prefix "Allo" means different hence transfer of pollen from one flower to stigma of another flower is called allogamy. It is compulsory in unisexual flower but may also occur in bisexual flowers.
Therefore, the correct answer is option E.
