Potato is a modification of a root - true.
- The Potato plant has a modified root system. This root system produces thick tubular structures called tubers.
- Tubers are formed with the help of special stem modification in the potato plant. These modified stems are called a stolon. They grow horizontally or in a sleeping position where the tubers are formed at the base of the stolon.
- Tubers are formed since they store food and nutrients in them. Nutrients such as starch, proteins, fiber, etc. can be found in a potato tuber. It is commonly used for food consumption by humans in various countries.
- This modification helps create hybrids or genetic modification in potato plants. That's why potatoes are also known as tubers.
- Therefore it is true that Potato is a modification of a root.
