Question

The eye of the potato plant is what
A. The root is to any plant
B. The bud is to a flower
C. The bud is to bryophyllum leaf
D. The anther is to stamen

Answer 1

Hint: Tubers are the swelling underground branch tips. These have an oval or round shape. Each tuber has many notches on its surface that are known as "eyes." When the conditions are favourable, these are the axillary buds that develop into new plants. The tubers, unlike other underground stems, do not produce adventitious roots. Solanum tuberosum, for example (potato).

Complete answer:
Option A: Potato is a tuber with a stem. A potato's eyeballs are an example of axillary buds. Axillary buds are the embryonic shoots that grow in the leaf's axil. These are found at the point where a plant's leaf and stem meet.
So, option A is not correct.
Option B: 'Eyes' is the name given to a surface. These are axillary buds, which sprout into new plants when conditions are favourable. Tubers, unlike other underground stems, do not produce adventitious roots; for example, Solanum tuberosum (potato).
So, option B is not correct.
Option C: The potato plant's eye is similar to the bryophyllum leaf's bud. By vegetative propagation, the potato's eye and the buds on the margins of the leaves of the Bryophyllum plant can produce new plants. When compared to plants grown from seeds, plants grown by vegetative propagation require less time to flourish.
So, option C is correct.
Option D: The portion of a flower that produces pollen, usually with a short filament supporting the anther. Pollen is formed in the anther, which is a component of the stamen. Pistil: The portion of a flower that produces ovules. The ovary frequently maintains a lengthy style with a stigma on top.
So, option D is incorrect.

So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note:
The tuber is a fleshy, food-storing component of the plant. The potato is the most common tuber that is mostly consumed as food. The ground covers the lowest section of the potato, which is where the adventitious branches sprout. The tuber is covered in a series of depressions known as "eyes," each of which indicates a node.
Rhizomes are non-green, fleshy subterranean stems with distinct nodes and internodes. They are brownish in colour and serve as both axillary and apical buds. They are parallel to the ground and have terminal buds. Rhizomes, also known as root stalks, grow perpendicular to the direction of the force of gravity.
