Solution

The correct option is B All are correct statements
All the statements given are correct.

Bulbils are fleshy vegetative buds which store food and take part in vegetative propagation.

A root cap is a protective covering over the tip of the root. Pandanus (screw pine) has multiple root cap with a number of sheaths formed successfully one after the other. Root cap protects the tip of roots and also secretes mucilage to ease the movement of the root through soil.

As aquatic plants (hydrophytes) are found in water, roots cap is absent and hydrophytes have root pockets.

Phylloclade is a photosynthetic stem found in Opuntia because the leaves are modified into spines.
