Question

Why potato considered as stem not room?

Answer 1

$\huge \mathfrak\pink{Answer}$

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.

Answer 2

Stem tubers form thickened rhizomes (underground stems) or stolons (horizontal connections between organisms). Common plant species with stem tubers include the potato and yam. Some sources also treat modified lateral roots (root tubers) under the definition; these are found in sweet potatoes, cassava, and dahlias.Potato is considered as a stem vegetable because it grows in underground stems, known as stolons.
