you cut out an eye from another potato and plant it, or you can just plant a whole potato
A potato is a modified stem called a tuber. It is an underground storage organ that stores nutrients for the plant to use.
When the blight finally left, the potato crop started to grow again and over time things began to improve in Ireland.When the blight finally left, the potato crop started to grow again and over time things began to improve in Ireland.When the blight finally left, the potato crop started to grow again and over time things began to improve in Ireland.When the blight finally left, the potato crop started to grow again and over time things began to improve in Ireland.When the blight finally left, the potato crop started to grow again and over time things began to improve in Ireland.When the blight finally left, the potato crop started to grow again and over time things began to improve in Ireland.When the blight finally left, the potato crop started to grow again and over time things began to improve in Ireland.When the blight finally left, the potato crop started to grow again and over time things began to improve in Ireland.When the blight finally left, the potato crop started to grow again and over time things began to improve in Ireland.When the blight finally left, the potato crop started to grow again and over time things began to improve in Ireland.When the blight finally left, the potato crop started to grow again and over time things began to improve in Ireland.
as we know that most of the plants grow from seeds but there are many plants that can grow without seeds like sugarcane, potato,,,,, it can be due to sprouting or stem cutting in case of sugarcane, it is due to stem cutting and growing them again .
Stem tuber of the potato plant is edible
potato
Because the part that turn into the potato is a structure off the stem of the plant. You can see this for yourself because the "eyes" of the potato tuber are stem side shoots.
Whoever said that a potato is a root just because it is below ground was making that up and doesn't know what they are talking about. A potato is just a thickened stem that is underground. As to why it is a root, does anyone care to elaborate? Please only answer if you actually know.
stem don't grow a stem is a tree never will grow agin
Sweet potatoes are flowering plants, so they reproduce sexually by producing seed. They also reproduce vegetatively from the tubers (which we eat). When we grow them as a crop we plant stem cuttings called slips. This is also vegetative reproduction but it's us doing it not the plant.
Though potatoes grow underground, they are actually modified underground stems and NOT roots. To understand how a stem differs from root, take stem of any plant, you can see lateral buds and leaves growing out of the stem at some points called nodes. The regions between two successive nodes is called internodes. Internodes provide height to the plant. Unlike stems and branches, roots don't have a node/internode pattern of construction. In a potato tuber also, there are small depressions or eyes, which are actually nodes. They contain buds from where new potato plants can grow. When these buds are exposed to warm and moist conditions, they start sprouting. You can actually plant these sprouted potatoes in ground and soon they will grow into plants. If you dig potato plants, you can clearly see that potatoes tubers are connected to the stem using stolons. Root system is separate from the stolons. I have made a complete video explaining this on my educational channel - The Science Girl, you can check that for thorough understanding.
