Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

White potatoes are commonly propagated by planting the tubers, which are enlarged portions of the underground stem. Stolons are aboveground, horizontal stems that produce roots and shoots at their nodes. Rhizomes are also underground stems but they grow horizontally and produce shoots and roots from their nodes. Bulbs are underground storage organs made up of layers of modified leaves. Root suckers are adventitious shoots that arise from the roots and may become independent plants.
