A bulb generally comes under a vegetable, specifically an onion. However bulbs are known to be a part of some plants.
The bulb of an onion is formed from modified leaves. While photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of an onion containing chloroplast, the little glucose that is produced from this process is converted in to starch (starch granules) and stored in the bulb.
Onions grow seeds on the tops of their stalks, not inside the bulbs. Their umbels (the flower head on the top of the plant) will dry out and then you have seeds. The bulbs themselves never have seeds inside.
