Question: Which vegetable is very deep rooted from the following? (RJ AAO 2021)
Options:
Pumpkin
Onion
Cabbage
Chilli
✅Explanation: Pumpkins are vine crops that have deep taproots that can reach several feet into the soil. This allows them to access water and nutrients from deep in the ground, which is why they are often grown in dry climates.
🔑Key Points:
• (This is a description of root vegetables, so I've bolded some of the key terms and types):
-The root vegetable is not only the roots of plants. It also contains bulbous growths of plants. For instance, bulbs (fennel, onions), corms (celery root, water chestnut), rhizomes (ginger, turmeric), taproots (beets, carrots, parsnips), tuberous roots (sweet potatoes, yucca), and tubers (potatoes, yams).
