Vedclass · Answer

(C) Ginger $(Zingiber officinale)$ is a classic example of a rhizome,which is a modified underground stem that grows horizontally (prostrate) under the soil surface.Therefore,the Assertion is correct.Regarding the Reason,shoot growth is indeed influenced by gravity (gravitropism/geotropism). Shoots typically exhibit negative geotropism (growing away from gravity),while roots exhibit positive geotropism.Since the statement 'Shoot growth is not affected by gravity' is scientifically incorrect,the Reason is false.Thus,the correct option is $C$.

Assertion: Ginger has a prostrate growing rhizome.
Reason: Shoot growth is not affected by gravity.
