Garlic is a bulb, which is a modified stem structure.
Garlic isn't a root, fruit, or seed. Instead, the "bulb" of garlic consists of modified leaves that store food for the plant. The bulb is the main organ harvested and used for culinary and medicinal purposes. Individual sections of the bulb are called cloves, and each clove can grow into a new garlic plant. The entire structure, therefore, functions as an underground food storage organ that enables the plant to survive and reproduce.
