The bulb is a root, from which a flower can grow. Only roots grow underground; flowers grow above ground.

A bulb is an underground storage organ present in lilies and other plants, consisting of a short stem with surrounding fleshy leaf bases and lying dormant over winter.

What do flowers new leaves or stems grow from in the spring?

If a flower has roots that have been dormant in the soil all winter, a new plant is sent up from the roots. If a flower has a bulb (like a tulip) sitting deep in the soil, it will emerge from the bulb. Some flowers (iris) have tubers (fleshy underground stem-like part) that sends out new growth in the spring.

Will one tulip bulb produce more than one flower?

Up until now, most tulips produced only one flower per bulb. There are new tulip varieties though that are producing more than one flower on a stem. These are more likely to be found in gardening catalogs rather than in the box store around the corner. Also, bulbs multiply underground and each sends up its own plant with a flower. The resulting clump of tulip plants can fool the eye into thinking there are more than one flower on a stem.
