Solution

The correct option is C Root stock
A plant stem that grows horizontally underground and from which roots and shoots grow are called as a rhizome. New plants develop from the shoots. They are also called as root stock e.g., ginger. The corm is a short underground swollen modified stem which stores food to survive winter, summer drought and heat. A stolon is a modified stem that grows horizontally just below the soil. Bulbil is a bulb-like structure produced in a leaf axil.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
