The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "The nodes are called 'eyes' which will form a new plant," we need to analyze the options provided: ginger, Bryophyllum, alocasia, and potato. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question is asking which plant has nodes referred to as 'eyes' that can develop into a new plant. 2. **Analyzing Ginger**: - Ginger grows from underground rhizomes. - Rhizomes are thickened underground stems that have buds. - While ginger does reproduce from rhizomes, it does not have nodes referred to as 'eyes'. - **Conclusion**: Ginger is not the correct answer. 3. **Analyzing Bryophyllum**: - Bryophyllum reproduces through vegetative propagation. - It has plantlets that grow from the edges of its leaves, but these are not nodes called 'eyes'. - **Conclusion**: Bryophyllum is not the correct answer. 4. **Analyzing Alocasia**: - Alocasia also propagates through rhizomes. - Similar to ginger, it does not have nodes referred to as 'eyes'. - **Conclusion**: Alocasia is not the correct answer. 5. **Analyzing Potato**: - Potatoes have depressions on their surface known as 'eyes'. - Each eye is a node from which a new plant can grow. - When planted, these eyes can sprout and develop into a new potato plant. - **Conclusion**: Potato is the correct answer. 6. **Final Answer**: The nodes referred to as 'eyes' that can form a new plant are found in the potato.
