The part labelled as ‘a’ in the diagram are eyes of the potato tuber. Eyes are vegetative propagules of potato through which vegetative propagation occurs in potato. New potato plants can grow from these eyes. Vegetative propagules are the units of vegetative propagation. This vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction that occurs in plants in which new plant grows from a part of the parent plant or a specialized reproductive structure called vegetative propagule.
