Is Potato a root or stem?


Potato is a stem.

The stem of the potato has undergone modifications in order to store food which is termed as stolons. Potato tubers (modified stems are usually called ‘tubers’) have buds that sprout stems and leaves from them while roots do not possess these properties.
