completely dug up to prevent rhizome fragments from
generating new plants.

Assessment:
Make a REFLECTION of what you learned in the lessons presented in this Module. Summarize
the highlights of the lessons based on your own understanding. Describe the organization
structure of plants. How important are the different organs of plants relative to their normal
growth and development? (20 points). The blank space is intended for your reflection

What I have learned based on my understanding of the lesson in this unit is learning. Studying it
made me understand how the knowledge we have and can learn can benefit us. gives me the
opportunity to expand and grow my knowledge and understanding. The topics we discussed
were very relevant to me. It gives me more excitement and it makes me interested. The topics
we discussed made me realize that we still have a lot to learn.
