What is a "bulb"?

A bulb is a type of underground storage organ found in certain plants, typically consisting of a short stem surrounded by thick, fleshy leaves or scales. Bulbs serve as a food reserve for the plant and enable it to survive adverse conditions such as drought or cold weather. Examples of plants that grow from bulbs include onions, tulips, daffodils, and garlic. Bulbs are planted underground, where they remain dormant until favorable conditions trigger their growth, at which point they send up shoots to produce leaves, flowers, and eventually seeds. Bulbs are commonly used in landscaping and gardening to add color and beauty to outdoor spaces.

What is "seaweed"?

Seaweed refers to various types of marine algae that grow in the ocean and are commonly consumed as food in many cultures around the world. Seaweed comes in different colors, including green, red, and brown, and it can be found in a wide range of shapes and sizes. It is valued for its unique taste, nutritional content, and culinary versatility. Seaweed is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a nutritious addition to the diet. It is commonly used in dishes such as sushi, salads, soups, and stir-fries, where it adds flavor, texture, and visual appeal. Some popular types of edible seaweed include nori, wakame, kombu, dulse, and hijiki. Seaweed is also used in various non-food products, including cosmetics, fertilizers, and biofuels, due to its beneficial properties.

What is a "stalk"?

A stalk, also known as a stem, refers to the elongated, upright structure that supports and connects various parts of a plant, such as leaves, flowers, and fruits, to the root system. Stalks vary in size, shape, and texture depending on the plant species and its growth habit. They are responsible for providing structural support to the plant, as well as for transporting water, nutrients, and sugars between different parts of the plant. In some plants, such as celery and asparagus, the stalk itself is edible and commonly consumed as a vegetable. Stalks can also serve as a storage organ for energy reserves, such as in the case of rhubarb stalks. Additionally, certain plants produce flower stalks that bear the plant's flowers and eventually develop into fruits or seeds.
