The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "All given modifications belong to adventitious roots, except," we will analyze each option provided and determine whether it belongs to adventitious roots or not. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Adventitious Roots**: - Adventitious roots are roots that arise from non-root tissues, such as stems or leaves. They can develop from nodes or internodes of the plant. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option A: Reproductive roots of Asparagus**: - These roots develop in clusters at the base of the stem and are swollen for food storage. They are considered adventitious roots. - **Option B: Storage roots of Sweet Potato**: - These roots arise from the nodes of the running stem and are known as edible root tubers. They are also classified as adventitious roots. - **Option C: Conical roots of Carrot**: - These roots are modifications of the tap root, which grows vertically downward. Since they are derived from the main root system and not from non-root tissues, they do not belong to adventitious roots. This is the exception. - **Option D: Prop roots of Banyan Tree**: - These roots arise from the horizontal aerial branches of the tree and provide support. They are classified as adventitious roots. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only option that does not belong to adventitious roots is **Option C: Conical roots of Carrot**.
