What Is Bud?

A small lateral or terminal protuberance on the stem of a plant that may develop into a flower, leaf, or shoot. 2 : something not yet mature or at full development: such as. a : an incompletely opened flower.

What Is Bulbi?

Bulbil, also spelled bulbel, also called bulblet, in botany, tiny secondary bulb that forms in the angle between a leaf and stem or in place of flowers on certain plants. Bulbils, called offsets when full-sized, fall or are removed and planted to produce new plants.

Answer 2

The bulb is a modified stem in the resting stage of some plants which is formed under the soil.

• It is a large, globe-shaped bud that grows underground.
• They are found covered in fleshy or membranous leaves.
• These leaves store food required for the plant during its resting period or dormancy.
• They grow actively only when the conditions become favorable.
• Examples are onion, tulip, lily, hyacinth, etc.

Bulbils are small and young plants that vegetatively propagate from axillary buds of the parent plant.

• They are formed above the ground on the stem of the parent plant.
• Their genetic material is identical to their parent plant as they are formed by asexual reproduction.
• Their difference in morphology makes them different from a bulb.
• The weight of the bulbils can bend the plant and make them touch the ground.
• Roots emerge from the bulbils touching the ground forming a new plant.
• Hence, they reproduce naturally and are clones of the parent plant.
• Examples are garlic, agave, Egyptian walking onion, etc.
