Onions are classified as modified stems (bulbs) and primarily store nutrients rather than perform photosynthesis. As a result, they lack chloroplasts, which are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis and are typically found in green, photosynthetic tissues of plants. Since onions grow underground and do not rely on light for energy, they do not develop chloroplasts like green leafy plants do.
