(N/A) In plants like potato,sugarcane,banana,ginger,and dahlia,vegetative propagation occurs through modified stems.
$1$. Potato: The 'eyes' on the potato tuber are axillary buds that give rise to new plants.
$2$. Ginger and Banana: These plants propagate through rhizomes,where nodes present on the modified stem give rise to new shoots.
$3$. Sugarcane: Propagation occurs through stem cuttings containing nodes.
$4$. Dahlia: Propagation occurs through tuberous roots.
When these nodes come in contact with moist soil or water,they produce roots and new plants. This ability to produce new plants from vegetative parts is widely used by gardeners and farmers for the commercial cultivation and propagation of these plants.
