Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Sweet potato is a motiified adventitious root which is meant for storage of food. It does not assume a definite shape and occurs singly.
Tap roots develop from the radicle of the embryo. They gradually become narrow towards the tip. Stem is usually the above-ground erect ascending part of the plant body. It bears leaves and flowers. Rhizome is modified underground stem. e.g., Zingiber officinale.
