Detailed explanation-1: -Bulbs. Onions, lilies, tulips, and some other monocots reproduce by multiplying bulbs-vertical, underground shoots whose layers of thickened, modified leaves (or leaf bases) store food (Figure below). The stored food often sustains the plant over winter and promotes rapid growth in early spring.
Detailed explanation-2: -The propagation takes place without gamete formation and fertilization. Examples of vegetative propagation are the rhizome of ginger, the tuber of the potato, guava tree, etc.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stem. Runners grow horizontally above the ground. Roots. New plants emerge out of swollen, modified roots known as tubers. Leaves. Leaves of a few plants get detached from the parent plant and develop into new plants. Bulbs. Cutting. Grafting. Layering. Tissue Culture.
