    Options:

    The correct answer is: Garlic and onion

    • '📌Concept:
    -The stem is the plant axis that bears shoots, leaves, buds, and the basal end-roots.
    -In some plants, the stem is modified to perform other functions such as storage of food, support, vegetative propagation, and protection.
    -These are simply known as modified stems and can be categorized into various classes.
    – A vegetable is any edible part of a herbaceous plant, such as the roots, leaves, stems, and bulbs.

    🔑Key Points:

    • Garlic:
    -Garlic is a modified, underground stem, which is known as a bulb.
    -Garlic is much similar to onions.
    -The garlic plant itself has a bulb, a tall stem, and long leaves.
    -Although the leaves and flowers of the plant are also edible.
    -The bulb comprised of 10-20 cloves is most frequently eaten.

    • Onion:
    -The onion is a stem.
    -It's a tunicate bulb with a clump of fleshy leaves on top.
    -An onion is a type of underground stem structure that has been modified.
    -The bulged leaf structure at the base of the onion plant stores its processed food.
    Thus, the onion and garlic plant has leaves and stems, both are used as vegetables.
