Annual - sunflower is known as Half Hardy annual
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Sunflower is known as a "Half Hardy annual" because it is a plant that completes its life cycle within one year, from seed germination to flowering and seed production. "Half Hardy" refers to the fact that sunflowers can tolerate a certain amount of cold, but they are still sensitive to frost. Therefore, they are typically grown as annuals in regions with shorter growing seasons or colder climates. This means that sunflowers need to be replanted each year to ensure continuous growth and blooming.Rate this question:

True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because bulbs indeed consist of modified leaves that store food and a modified stem that produces flowers. In bulbs, the leaves are thick and fleshy, serving as a storage organ for nutrients. The stem, known as the basal plate, is short and compressed, giving rise to the flowers. This adaptation allows bulbs to survive adverse conditions and produce flowers when favorable conditions arise.Rate this question:
