The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Garlic's Growth Method**: Garlic is primarily grown through a specific method of vegetative propagation. This method is a form of asexual reproduction in plants. 2. **Identifying the Structure Involved**: In the case of garlic, the structure involved in its growth is the bulb. A bulb is an underground storage organ that consists of a short stem surrounded by fleshy leaves. 3. **Characteristics of Bulbs**: Bulbs serve multiple purposes, including food storage and the ability to produce new plants. The leaves attached to the bulb are crucial for photosynthesis and energy storage. 4. **Comparison with Other Structures**: While other structures like runners (e.g., grass), rhizomes (e.g., ginger), and tubers (e.g., potatoes) also participate in vegetative propagation, garlic specifically utilizes bulbs for its growth. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, garlic is grown by the bulb, which allows it to propagate effectively and produce new garlic plants. **Final Answer**: Garlic is grown by bulbs. ---
