A stem tuber has axial buds. Such as "eyes" on a potato.
No, cassava is a root tuber. Stem tubers, such as potatoes, grow from the thickened underground stems of plants, while root tubers like cassava develop from the roots of the plant.
Water chestnut is a type of aquatic vegetable plant that produces underwater tubers, which are a form of modified stem. The tubers grow underwater and serve as a storage organ for the plant.
An onion, strictly speaking, is a 'bulb' and is a stem.
A carrot is the root, just like a potato or onion.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is from the root or underground stem (rhizome).
No. Potatoes are tubers. They come from the root.
No, cassava is a root tuber. Stem tubers, such as potatoes, grow from the thickened underground stems of plants, while root tubers like cassava develop from the roots of the plant.
Root Tubers are different than Stem Tubers. Root Tubers include: Dahlias, Sweet Potatoes (Kumara - Ipomaea battatas), Cassava and Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) Root Tubers are modified roots so do not have "eyes" (buds) like a Potato which is a. . . .Stem Tubers include: Potatoes, New Zealand Yam or Oca (Oxalis tuberosa), Tuberous Begonias, Cyclamen, and Mignonette Vine (Anredera cordifolia) and they are modified stems so do have "eyes" (buds) which are axillary (side) buds and can become vegetative shoots.Stem Tubers also generally go green (like a spud) if left in the light but Root Tubers generally don't (no chloroplasts in modified root.)
Water chestnut is a type of aquatic vegetable plant that produces underwater tubers, which are a form of modified stem. The tubers grow underwater and serve as a storage organ for the plant.
Similarities Between Stem Tuber and Root Tuber Stem tuber and root tuber are two types of geophytes. Both are underground swollen structures of plants. They store water and nutrients. They anchor plant bodies to the soil.
Tubers are various types of modified plant structures that are enlarged to store nutrients. They are used by plants to overwinter and regrow the next year and as a means of asexual reproduction. Two different groups of tubers are: stem tubers, and root tubers
Rhizomes are underground stems that grow horizontally and produce new shoots, while stem tubers are swollen underground storage structures that store nutrients for the plant. Rhizomes can give rise to new plants, while stem tubers are primarily used for storing energy.

A potato is a structure that stores nutrients and food for a plant. The scientific name for this structure is called a Tuber (not Tuba) There are two types of tuber, stem and root. Stem Tubers are potatoes, this is because they shoot out a stem when the plant grows. Root Tubas start off as roots and then enlarge to become storage organs, still acting as a main root.
Tubers are various types of modified plant structures that are enlarged to store nutrients. They are used by plants to overwinter and regrow the next year and as a means of asexual reproduction. Two different groups of tubers are: stem tubers, and root tubers
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.
