Chloroplasts are missing because the onion bulb grows underground where there is no access to light.
An onion is a bulb, it is food storage for the actual onion plant, it doesn’t make its own food so doesn’t need chloroplasts
Chloroplasts
They don’t need it because it grows underground, and chloroplasts don’t function without light. They gets nutrition by the soil around them.
Chloroplast as it grow under ground and the photosynthesis process is carried out by onion leaves and food materials are translocated to the onion bulb.
