Final answer: In our country, vast tracts of forests are cleared and a single species of plant is cultivated. This practice promotes monoculture in the area.

Potatoes are modified underground stems. They have portions called 'eyes' that can give rise to new plants.

The giant panda is the featured animal on the logo for World Wildlife Fund as a symbol of all endangered species that would be able to thrive if permitted the range and natural environment of their origin. Our logo is representative of World Wildlife Fund's commitment to protect wildlife and wild spaces.

Explanation: Roots are the underground structures that help in the absorption of water and minerals, provide a proper anchorage to the plant parts, store reserve food material (Carrot, Radish), and synthesize PGR (plant growth regulators). Sometimes roots get modified to perform different functions like Storage of food, respiration, climbing, etc. These types of roots are called modified roots. Examples - prop root of the Banyan tree for providing support, Pneumatophores of Rhizophora, and Mangrove plants for respiration. So, these statements are correct. A. To give support to the plant. C. To store food. D. To absorb water and minerals.

The following statements below are correct about afforestation.

A. Afforestation could prevent flooding.

B. Afforestation can balance our ecosystem.

1. Plants release water into the air through a process called transpiration.

2. Transpiration is a natural process, by which plants expel water from their bodies in the form of vapor.

3. The process of transpiration takes place through small holes in the leaves, which are called stomata.

3. Transpiration is essential for plants, as it helps keep plants cool and transport nutrients from the roots to the leaves needed to make food.

Abiotic components are non-living factors in the environment which affect ecosystems like temperature, light, air, soil etc.

Rainwater is the purest form of natural water. It is formed naturally by evaporation followed by condensation of water vapour.
