Answer:
- Some plants use tubers, which are larger organs, as storage organs for nutrients.
- They serve as a mechanism of asexual reproduction as well as a source of energy and nutrients for the plant's perennation (survival during the winter or dry months).
- Well-known species with stem tubers include the potato and yam. They develop thickening rhizomes (underground stems) or stolons (horizontal connections between organisms).
- Modified lateral roots (root tubers), which are present in sweet potatoes, cassava, and dahlias, are also included in some writers' treatments of the concept.
- Since potatoes are stem tubers, their thickened stolons eventually transform into storage organs.
- The tuber includes internodes and nodes, much like a typical stem would.
