The cut part of plant stem (having roots and fixed to ground) which is used in the process of grafting is known as:(a)stock (b)scion (c)cutting (d)bud
Correct Answer: (a) stock
Explanation:
The cut part of a plant stem (having roots and fixed to the ground) which is used in the process of grafting is known as stock.
Grafting is a method of artificial propagation in which the stem of two plants are cut, one with the roots and another without roots. Then these stems are joined together to form a single plant.
The lower portion of the graft, which is the stem and with roots is termed as a stock. The upper portion of the graft, (stem) without roots is termed as a scion.

- The stem of a fruit tree X fixed in soil is cut in a slanting way. The upper part of stem of another fruit tree Y of different variety of same species is also cut in a slanting way. The cut stem tree Y, without roots but having some leaves, is placed over the rooted cut stem of tree X in such a way that their cut surfaces fit together properly. While joining the two cut stems, care is taken to make sure that the layer Z of one cut stem is in contact with layer Z of the other cut stem. The joint of cut stem is bound tightly with a piece of cloth and covered properly with polythene. Soon the cut heals and the two stems grow together and become one fruit tree producing leaves, flowers and fruits.(a) What is the name of this method of producing plants or trees? (b) What name is given to the cut stem of tree X having roots? (c) What name is given to the cut stem of tree Y which has no roots but has some leaves? (d) Name the layer Z.
