Bulbs store food during the growing season, allowing the plants to live after their flowers and above ground leaves and stems have died.

Yes you can leave the hyacinth bulb in the ground. Leave the leaves alone to gather food for next year.
Yes but they usually don't because there is usually vegetation above ground.
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.
Hyacinth bulbs are perennial bulbs. Don't destroy the leaves because the hyacinth needs the leaves to refuel the bulb to make next year's flowers.

When the leaves finish with photosynthesis (the process of making food for the plant), they use phloem tubes, which are tubes carrying sugar and other minerals down from the leaves to the roots, the roots will save up the sugar (plant food) under the ground. Some plants store the bulbs in bulbs (e.g. onions), some will turn it into starch (e.g. potatoes), etc...
The ground wire at the bulbs is black.
A month after the daffodil's bloom fades, the leaves will turn yellow and separate from the bulb. The bulbs stays in the ground, safe from whatever is happening above them.Daffodil bulbs should be planted in the fall months before the ground freezes. Why autumn when it's a spring flower?The bulb must be exposed to cold temperatures for the formation of the flower bud.The bulb roots should be established prior to freezing temperatures.To break dormancy & bloom, must spring bulbs need 12-14 weeks of temps below 45F.So it's not that the daffodil is going though anything horrible during the cold months of winter. In fact, it's important that they receive a certain amount of cold time. And when they sprout and find themselves above ground again, they are very resistant to frost and even a foot of more of snow. When the snow melts away, they are still there, ready to offer hope for a bountiful new year.
Bulb - a short vertical underground stem with fleshy storage leaves attached, e.g. onion, daffodil, tulip. Bulbs often function in reproduction by splitting to form new bulbs or producing small new bulbs termed bulblets. Bulbs are a combination of stem and leaves so may better be considered as leaves because the leaves make up the greater part.Corm - a short enlarged underground, storage stem, e.g. taro, crocus, gladiolus.http://www.cobaltinc.com/frontpagewebs/Content/Classify/images/corm.gif
