Question2: Haustoria or sucking roots occur in [CPMT 1978; BHU 1996; DPMT 1999; JIPMER 1999; Pb. PMT 1999] (a) Betel (b) Orchids (c) Cuscuta (d) Tinospora Answer: c Solution: The parasatic plant produces some knob like roots at the point of attachment with the host plant known as haustoria which penetrate into the host plant and draws nourishment. Question3: Ginger is a stem which can be differentiated from root because it [CPMT 1978; 83; AFMC 1978, 85; BHU 1981; DPMT 1982; JIPMER 1986] (a) Grows parallel to ground (b) Stores food (c) Lacks chlorophyll (d) Has nodes and internodes Answer: d Solution: A rhizome is a thick horizontally growing stem.
