Which among the following is not product of plants?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) –Honey
Honey is not produced by plants themselves but by honey bees. Bees collect nectar from flowers, which is a sugary fluid produced by various plants, and then transform it into honey through a process of regurgitation and enzymatic activity. While honey originates from plant nectar, it undergoes significant processing by bees before it becomes the final product.
The other options:
- Cereal: Cereal grains such as wheat, rice, maize, and oats are produced by various grass species.
- Rubber: Rubber is produced from the latex sap of certain plants, such as the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis).
- Timber: Timber refers to wood harvested from trees, which are plants.
So, all the other options are products directly or indirectly produced by plants.
