Explanation by: Admin

Potato is a modified stem, specifically a tuber. It develops from the underground stem of the potato plant.

Key Features of Potato as a Stem:

  1. Presence of "Eyes" → These are actually nodes with axillary buds, which can sprout into new plants.
  2. Stores Starch → Acts as a storage organ for nutrients.
  3. Vegetative Propagation → A new plant can grow from a potato tuber.

Thus, potato is not a root, fruit, or leaf, but a modified stem (tuber).
