Answer 2

Answer:

In an onion bulb, food is stored in the leaf bases also called as the leaf scales.

Explanation:

• Leaf scales are the food storage organ of the onion plant because they act as food reserves and supply them with nourishment when necessary like during the dormancy periods.
• The leaf bases and the scaly leaves are fleshy because of the food stored in them.
• Although these are called leaf scales, they do not support leafy structure or leaves, they are just used as food reserves.
• It is for the same reason, that we consume the scales of the onion. Hence onion bulbs are of great importance both nutritionally and economically.
