Find out correct order of vegetative propagules of plants like Potato, Ginger, Agave, Bryophyllum and Water Hyacinth

Options

A. Offset, bulbil, leaf bud, rhizome and eyes
B. Leaf bud, bulbil, offset, rhizome and eyes
C. Eyes, rhizome, bulbil, leaf bud and offset
D. Rhizome, bulbil, leaf bud, eyes and offset

Answer

To determine the correct order of vegetative propagules for the plants listed (Potato, Ginger, Agave, Bryophyllum, and Water Hyacinth), we first need to identify the type of vegetative propagule each plant uses for reproduction:

1. **Potato**: The vegetative propagules are tubers. Potatoes store energy and can sprout new plants from "eyes" on the tuber.

2. **Ginger**: The vegetative propagules are rhizomes. Ginger grows from underground stems that can produce new shoots.

3. **Agave**: The vegetative propagules are bulbils. Agave plants can produce bulbils, which are small bulbs that can grow into new plants.

4. **Bryophyllum**: The vegetative propagules are leaf buds. Bryophyllum can produce new plants from the buds that form along the edges of its leaves.

5. **Water Hyacinth**: The vegetative propagules are stolons. Water Hyacinth reproduces by sending out stolons, which are horizontal stems that can root and form new plants.

Now, we can arrange these plants based on their vegetative propagules:

1. **Potato** - Tubers
2. **Ginger** - Rhizomes
3. **Agave** - Bulbils
4. **Bryophyllum** - Leaf buds
5. **Water Hyacinth** - Stolons

So the correct order of vegetative propagules is:
1. Potato (Tubers)
2. Ginger (Rhizomes)
3. Agave (Bulbils)
4. Bryophyllum (Leaf buds)
5. Water Hyacinth (Stolons)
