Question

potato is a stem so why carrot is not a stem​

Answer 1

Answer:

because carrot is growing in the root or under the ground

Answer 2

Answer:

Potato is considered as a stem vegetable because it grows in underground stems, known as stolons. Potato tubers are considered to be thick stems that have the buds sprouting stems and leaves. Roots do not possess the above mentioned attributes and hence, potato is considered as a stem and not a root.
