False.
Explanation:
Vegetative organs such as roots, stems, and leaves indicate divergent evolution rather than convergent evolution. Divergent evolution occurs when similar structures evolve different functions in related species due to adaptation to different environments. Convergent evolution, on the other hand, refers to unrelated species evolving similar traits independently due to similar environmental pressures.
