hey buddy !! here's your answer...

potato is a ✴️stem modification... hence its a stem ... in potato stem is modified to store food .
it is evident from the fact that potato has buds and internodes on it .... like stems have but roots don't have these characters.

hope it helps !! ❤️✌️

===================>

POTATO IS A STEM.

AS POTATO IS CONSIDERED AS A STEM VEGETABLE BECAUSE IT GROWS IN UNDERGROUND STEMS, KNOW AS STOLONS.

POTATO TUBERS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THICK STEMS THAT HAVE THE BUDS SPROUTING STEMS AND LEAVES.

ROOTS DO NOT POSSES THE ABOVE MENTIONED ATTRIBUTES AND HENCE, POTATO IS CONSIDERED AS A STEM AND NOT A ROOT.
