Question

Why is potato considered as a stem and not as a root?

Answer 1

Explantion:

1. Potato is considered a stem because it develops in underground stems known as stolons, the potato is classified as a stem vegetable.
2. Potato tubers are strong stems with sprouting leaves and stems that sprout from the buds. Because roots lack the characteristics listed above, the potato is classified as a stem rather than a root.
3. The major function of a potato stem alteration is to retain starches for the plant. Stolons, or underground stems, are where it grows. Because it has scaly leaves, it's called a modified stem.
