The rhizome of ginger is like the roots of other plants that grow underground. Despite this fact, ginger is a stem and not a root. Justify.

Answers (1)

The rhizome of ginger is like the roots of other plants that grow underground. Despite this fact, ginger is a stem and not a root because it has internodes and nodes that roots do not possess, and they do not perform the function of roots, i.e. anchorage and absorption. Instead, they perform the storage of food, which is the function of the stem.
