The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the type of underground modification of stem in which food storage does not occur in the stem, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks for a type of underground stem modification where the stem itself does not store food. 2. **Identify the Options**: The options provided typically include various types of underground stem modifications such as bulbs, rhizomes, corms, and tubers. 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Bulb**: A bulb is a modified stem where food is stored in the fleshy leaves (e.g., onion and garlic). Therefore, in bulbs, the stem does not store food. - **Rhizome**: A rhizome is a modified stem that stores food (e.g., ginger and banana). - **Corm**: A corm is also a modified stem that stores food (e.g., colocasia). - **Tuber**: A tuber is a swollen part of a stem that stores food (e.g., potato). 4. **Determine the Correct Answer**: Since the bulb is the only option where food storage occurs in the fleshy leaves and not in the stem itself, it is the correct answer. 5. **Conclude**: The answer to the question is that in the case of a bulb, food storage does not occur in the stem. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Bulb**.
