sir in a Collins text book its written that Ginger is a modified rhizome but Meritnation is telling that it's a bulb
Dear Student,
A Rhizome is irregular in shape and grows horizontally below the soil. It has scaly leaves, buds, nodes and internodes. While a bulb is a condensed disc shaped stem and a terminal bud overlapped by numerous scaly leaves which are protective in nature.
So from the above definitions, we can conclude that Ginger is a Rhizome and not a Bulb.
Hope this information clears your doubts about the topic.
Keep asking!!
