1. Tuber

   Tubers are a type of enlarged structure used as storage organs for nutrients in some plants. They are used for the plant's perennation (survival of the winter or dry months), to provide energy and nutrients for regrowth during the next growing season, and as a means of asexual reproduction. Stem tubers form thickened rhizomes (underground stems) or stolons (horizontal connections between organisms); well known species with stem tubers include the potato and yam. Some writers also treat modified lateral roots (root tubers) under the definition; these are found in sweet potatoes, cassava, and dahlias.

1. tuber

   A tuber is a thickened underground part of a stem or rhizome, like a potato, serving as a food reserve and bearing buds from which new plants can arise. It is typically found in plants that grow in areas where the growing season is short, and they need to store energy and nutrients for the winter season. Tubers are rich in starch and can be consumed by animals and humans.
