Detailed explanation-1: -Garlic is an example of bulb stem modification.
Detailed explanation-2: -Harvesting. Garlic grows in large papery clusters. These clusters are called ‘heads’, ‘bulbs’ or ‘knobs’. Each small, individual segment of a garlic head is a clove.
Detailed explanation-3: -For starters, fresh garlic is normally sold in heads, which are bulb-like and covered in whiteish papery skin. Remove the outer papery layer, and you’ll see that one bulb is made up of many individual lobes that are also covered in papery skin. Each of these lobes is called a clove of garlic.
Detailed explanation-4: -Onion and garlic are also examples of underground stems that are bulbs.
Detailed explanation-5: -Garlic too is a true bulb. Common flowering true bulbs include tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, amaryllis, lilies, and Dutch iris. The second type of bulb is the corm. Corms are actually stems modified for storage.
