A tuberous root is also known as a storage root or a modified lateral root. Some plants that have tuberous roots are sweet potatoes, yam, cassava, and dahlia. They store nutrients over periods for when the plant is not capable of growing.
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.)
Ube or purple yam is a root crop. It reproduce using growths from the tubers and not from seeds. It does not bear any fruit or seeds, thus they are not considered monocot or a dicot.
No, it is a both a root and a type of tuber that has tap roots.Another answer:Potato plants have no central tap root. They have regular roots with connected tubers. Those tubers are what farmers harvest and sell as what we call potatoes.However the yam plant, not to be confused with sweet potatoes, does have a tap root.
dahlias reproduce by using tubers
rhizomes are underground horizontal stems tubers are enlarged underground stems
A potato produce underground tubers. It is the tubers that are edible.
A stem tuber has axial buds. Such as "eyes" on a potato.
Root vegetables or tubers.

root. unlike potatoes which are tubers
No. Potatoes are tubers. They come from the 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
