After a long period of dormancy,the bulbs will develop into plants. The central bud uses food from the leaves to grow into young shoots. Once the leaves are exposed to sunlight, they photosynthesize. Excess food is transported to the stem to form new bulbs. When the mother bulb dies, one or more baby bulbs will be left in the ground.

Onions reproduce by bulbs. Bulbs differ from corms in that they are formed from layers of scale leaves that develop underground around the stem. The stem enlarges at its base to form the new bulb and the outermost scale leaves die off.

No. Onions don't have underground stems they have roots and the onion bulb forms on top of the ground. Onions are usually propagated by seed
