Vedclass · Answer

(B) The correct answer is $(b)$. In banana,the structure that appears as an aerial stem is actually a $Pseudostem$ or $False$ $stem$. This structure is formed by the tight aggregation and overlapping of the leaf bases. The true stem of the banana plant is actually a $Rhizome$ located underground. $A$ scape (inflorescence stalk) grows through the center of the $Pseudostem$ to emerge and bear the inflorescence (spadix).
