Question

Which of the following is not a vegetative part of plant?

• A. Carpel
• B. Thalamus
• C. Stipules
• D. Calyx

Answer 1

The correct option is A Carpel

• In plants, receptacle or thalamus is a thick part of the stem from which the flower organs grow. Stipule is a small leafy outgrowth at the base of the leaf. The sepals of a flower that form a whorl enclosing the petals and forms a protective layer around the flowers.
• Carpels, on the other hand, is the female reproductive organ in a flower consisting an ovary, a stigma and probably a style. It produces egg cells and protects a developing baby plant.

So the carpels are not vegetative part of the plant. Hence the correct answer is option A
