Introduction:
Flowering plants include vegetative parts and reproductive parts. A plant consists of shoot system and a root system. Shoot system contains leaf, stem, flower, fruit, terminal bud, axillary bud, node, internode, and the root system contains lateral root and taproot.

Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
Flower is not a vegetative organ in a plant. Hence, the correct answer is option c.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer:
Option c. is given as “Flower”.
The vegetative parts of plants include stems, leaves, and roots. Flower is a reproductive part of the plant which may or may not give rise to fruit.
Reason for incorrect answer:
Option a. is given as, “Stem”.
Stems are considered as vegetative parts of vascular plants. Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option b. is given as, “Leaf”.
The vegetative organs in a plant are roots, stems, and leaves. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as, “Root”.
Root is a vegetative organ that does not participate directly in reproduction. Hence, option d. is incorrect.
Hence, the options a., b., and d. are incorrect.
Flower is a reproductive organ whereas root, stem, and leaf are vegetative organs. Thus, the correct option is c.
