How do plants deal with wastes even without special excretory organs?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They can store wastes in old parts and shed them
The governing concept is plant excretion. Plants lack specialised kidneys and other animal-like excretory organs, but they can isolate or store wastes in vacuoles, leaves, bark, or resin. When leaves, bark, or other old parts are shed, the stored wastes leave the plant with them. Some wastes may also diffuse out or be released into the soil. Hence option A is correct; the remaining choices incorrectly assign animal organs to plants.
