Consider the following plants :

2. Horse-gram

3. Soybean

How many of the above belong to the pea family?

Accepted Answer

All three listed plants – Groundnut, Horse-gram, and Soybean – belong to the pea family, also known as Leguminosae or Fabaceae.

* **Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea):** A member of the Fabaceae family, cultivated for its edible seeds, which grow in pods underground.

* **Horse-gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum):** A pulse crop widely grown in India, it is also a legume and thus belongs to the Fabaceae family.

* **Soybean (Glycine max):** One of the most important leguminous crops globally, providing edible oil and protein, and is a key member of the Fabaceae family.

The pea family (Fabaceae) is one of the largest plant families, characterized by their fruit being a legume (pod) and often having nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root nodules. Many important food crops, including beans, peas, lentils, and chickpeas, also belong to this family.

Therefore, all three belong to the pea family.
