Hey there..!

tuber of potato and rhizome of ginger are said to be stems but not roots because of the following reasons.

-presence of apical bud on the side which is just opposite to the point of attachment

-presence of nodes and internodes(these are absent in roots)

-presence of sacle leaves.

-presence of buds.
