Solution
The correct option is B Ginger, zimikand, potato
Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction observed in plants. In this method, the offsprings/ new plants are produced by vegetative parts of the parent plant. - Rhizomes are segmented, fleshy underground stems. They serve as storage and reproductive structures. Eg: Ginger
- Corms are swollen underground stems with dry scale leaves covering them. Eg: Zimikand
- Tubers are of two types: Stem tubers (swollen parts of stem buried in the soil) and Root tubers (swollen roots used as storage systems). Stem tubers have nodes (appears like eyes) on them. These nodes can produce new shoots. Eg: Potato
Thus, the correct answer is 'Ginger, zimikand, potato'.
