Vedclass · Answer

(A) rhizome is a modified underground stem that grows horizontally. Ginger $(Zingiber 	ext{ officinale})$ and Turmeric $(Curcuma 	ext{ longa})$ are classic examples of rhizomes. Lotus $(Nelumbo 	ext{ nucifera})$ also possesses a rhizomatous stem. Colocasia $(Colocasia 	ext{ esculenta})$ is a classic example of a corm, which is a swollen, vertical underground stem. Therefore, Colocasia is not a rhizome.
