Which of the following does NOT grow under the soil?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Tomato

• Tomato is a fruit-bearing plant that grows above the soil on a vine or bush. The edible part is the fruit, which develops from the flower of the plant and hangs on the branches.

• In contrast, turnip, radish, and potato are all underground crops—they grow beneath the soil and are harvested from the root or stem.

Information Booster:

• Turnip and radish are root vegetables, meaning the part we eat is the root that grows underground.

• Potato is a modified stem called a tuber that also grows beneath the soil.

• Tomato, though often confused as a vegetable, is botanically a fruit and grows above ground.

Additional Information:

• Crops that grow underground are typically harvested by uprooting the plant or digging the soil.

• Tomatoes are widely cultivated in open fields and greenhouses and require staking or support due to their above-ground growth pattern.
