Onion, green plants?

Question

Onions are classified as green plants (not related to those green onions or spring onions). Where in the onion plant are these green cells located?

Answer 1

The green in onions is in the stems and leaves, the same for tuber crops (potatoes) this is true for all root crops, ie: carrots, beets, radish etc. Now here it is. It is also available in the root section as well. If the soil was removed from the root section of the plant and allowed sunlight to hit it, it too would turn green Why do you think potatoes have green sections on some of them. That is because that part was expose to sunlight and photosynthesis began. All sections of a plant are capable of photosynthesis if it is exposed to needed light.

Answer 2

Onions are harvested and the green portion of the leaves removed just as with potatoes or turnips. The onion is the food storage site for the plant just as the edible tubers are. Both of these plant parts are really modified stems. Bulbs can be considered to be very short stems encased in thick, layered scales that are just modified leaves. Garlic is another bulb type with distinctly separate layered leaves.
Green onions are young small onions grown for their leaves as well as the edible bulb. They are pulled before the bulb develops.

Answer 3

In the upper portion of the leaves. The lower portion is used for storage and that is the part we eat.
