Solution

The photosynthesis of potato and ginger plants:

  1. The shoot system and leaves of potato and ginger are on the ground's upper side.
  2. They prepare their food through a process known as photosynthesis, then transport it to underground storage areas.
  3. The stems of potatoes and ginger have been modified.
  4. Tuber refers to both the underground and modified stem of the potato.
  5. Rhizome refers to the underground as well as modified stem of ginger. These plants, like other plants, photosynthesize through their leaves.
  6. The starch produced is then stored in these underground stems.
  7. The underground stems swell as a result of plant food storage.
