Answer : 2. "Rhizome"
Explanation :
The rhizome of the plant is harvested every year, some for propagation in the following season and some for consumption. Turmeric powder has a warm, bitter, black pepper-like flavour and an earthy, mustard-like aroma. The underground stem called the dried rhizome of the plant obtains turmeric powder.
