In ginger, vegetative propagation occurs through

  1. bulbils
  2. runners
  3. rhizome
  4. offsets.

Answer

(3) rhizome

Solution

As per NCERT, the vegetative propagules include runner, rhizome, sucker, tuber, offset and bulb.

⇒ Ginger is an underground stem modified as a rhizome; its buds (eyes) give rise to new plants.

∵ Bulbils occur in Agave, runners in grasses / strawberry, and offsets in Pistia and Eichhornia.

∴ In ginger, vegetative propagation occurs through rhizome.
