Why do onions make people have tears?

From what I learned at school in food preparation, if you cut off the bottom part of the onion (where the root stems from), it releases a strong gas like substance which burns your eyes and/or makes you tear up.

I don't know who she's talking about when she says "they say it is not a good Idea to freeze veggies", but I have frozen vegetables myself, and I buy them frozen from the grocery store all the time. I have NEVER had any problems.
