Answer 2

Characters of carrot:

Carrot is a storage organ of the carrot plants, which is actually the root of the plant. This theory can be proved by following ways :

• Carrot grows below soil, and there’s no other root system that is present in the plant. So, carrot itself must be the root of the plant.

• Carrot gives rise to secondary roots that only arises from the primary root. So, carrot itself is the primary root of the plant.

• The most important feature is that the microscopic analysis of the carrot reveals the structure of root and not of any other part.
