Q. Consider the following plants:
1. Wheat
2. Rice
3. Onion
4. Potato
Which of the above are true annual plants?
Wheat (1) → Annual plant. It completes its life cycle (seed → plant → seed) in one season.
Rice (2) → Annual plant. Like wheat, it grows, matures, and dies within a single growing season.
Onion (3) → Biennial plant. It usually takes two years to complete its life cycle (bulb formation in the first year, flowering/seed in the second).
Potato (4) → Perennial plant. Though cultivated annually for tubers, the plant itself can survive and regrow for multiple years.
? So, the true annual plants among the given options are Wheat and Rice.
