Question

Give one difference between root tubers and stem tubers?

Answer 1

Answer:

The main difference between stem tuber and root tuber is that the stem tuber is a swollen stem whereas the root tuber is a swollen root. For example, potatoes are stem tubers while dahlias are root tubers.

Stem tuber and root tuber are two types of tubers swollen by storing water and nutrients. Tubers, when compared to the other geophytes such as bulbs, corms or rhizomes, do not produce an offset but, grow in size in every year.
