Answer 1

Answer:

Underground stems are modified plants that derive from stem tissue but exist under the soil surface. ... The roots are modified to have root hairs and branch indiscriminately with cells that take in water and nutrients, while the stems are modified to move water and nutrients to and from the leaves and flowers.

Many plants have underground modified stems that may be mistaken for roots. Examples of underground stems include corms, such as taro (left); rhizomes, such as ginger (center); and tubers, such as potatoes (right).
