Bulbs

Bulbs are specialized underground plant structures that store nutrients for growth. They help plants survive during unfavorable conditions like winter or drought. Common examples include onions, garlic, and tulips. A bulb consists of a short stem surrounded by fleshy leaves. These leaves store food that supports the plant’s development. When conditions become suitable, bulbs sprout roots and shoots. They can reproduce by forming smaller bulbs called offsets. Bulb plants are widely used in gardening and agriculture. They are important for both food production and ornamental purposes.
