Solution

The correct option is B Adventitious roots
  • Generally shoots develop from the plumule and roots develop from the radicle of a seed.
  • Adventitious roots develop from parts other than radicle, usually a stem or a leaf.
  • Besides normal functions, these roots perform additional functions. E.g. Aerial roots, prop roots, stilt roots, etc.
