Question

Which plant reproduces through leaves
Options
A Hibiscus
B Onion
C Bryophyllum
Correct Answer
D Ginger
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Bryophyllum (also known as 'mother of thousands' or 'life plant') is well-known for its ability to reproduce asexually from plantlets that develop along the margins of its leaves. These plantlets fall off and can grow into new plants. Hibiscus reproduces through seeds or cuttings. Onion reproduces from bulbs. Ginger reproduces from rhizomes.

Hint

Look for a plant famous for developing small plantlets directly on its leaf edges.
