  • The correct answer is option 2, i.e., Bryophyllum.
  • In Bryophyllum buds are produced in the notches along the leaf margin.
  • The word Bryophullum is derived from two Greek words 'bryon' which means 'sprout' and 'phyllon' which means 'leaf'.
  • Bryophyllum is a plant known for buds produced in the notches along the leaf margin.
  • These buds are vegetatively growing small plantlets on phylloclade margins and tips.
  • Phylloclade is the aerial modification of stem, having several nodes and internodes and is modified into a flat, fleshy, and green leaf-like structure and carries out photosynthesis like a leaf and also stores food.
  • Bryophyta is a phylum of Plant kingdom in which the most simple and primitive land plants are included. The plants are devoid of vascular tissues. Some of the plants included in this phylum are Riccia, Anthoceros, Funaria, and Sphagnum, etc.
  • Banana is a berry fruit and is the largest herbaceous flowering plant.
