The bulb is an underground pyriform structure that has a reduced stem and several fleshy scales that enclose a terminal bud. The bulb consists of several adventitious roots that arise from the lower side of the stem. The bulb is covered with a sheath called tunic. Bulbs are either scaly or tunicated. Lily is an example of scaly bulb and it is non-tunicated. In Allium cepa (onion), fleshy scales are present which refer to leaf bases and are tunicated. In Allium sativum (garlic) a scaly, fleshy compound tunicated bulb is observed.
Tubers are enlarged structures used as storage organs for nutrients. They are used for the survival, energy and nutrients for regrowth during the next season. It also acts as a means of asexual reproduction. E.g., Potato
