Root tubers develop from the roots of the plant and store energy for future growth, while stem tubers develop from the stem of the plant and function similarly. Root tubers are usually rounded, irregularly shaped, and are found underground. Stem tubers are typically more elongated and grow at or just below the soil surface.
