Question

Among the following, which one is the perennial vegetable?

• A. Artichoke
• B. Celery
• C. Knol-khol
• D. Leek

Hint:

Perennial vegetables, like artichokes, asparagus, and rhubarb, are great for gardens because you plant them once and they come back year after year. Most common vegetables are annuals or biennials grown as annuals.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Define a perennial plant. A perennial is a plant that lives for more than two years. It typically regrows each spring from its existing root system.
Step 2: Classify the vegetables listed based on their life cycle.

Artichoke: The globe artichoke is a true perennial from the thistle group, producing edible flower buds for several years from the same plant.
Celery: This is a biennial plant, meaning it completes its life cycle in two years, but it is typically cultivated as an annual.
Knol-khol (Kohlrabi): This is a biennial, usually grown as an annual.
Leek: This is also a biennial, typically grown as an annual. \end{itemize} Therefore, the artichoke is the perennial vegetable among the options.
