Do potatoes grow above ground or below ground?

Answer 1

The family of plants commonly known as the potato family are geophytes, ie they grow in the soil. The actual potato that we eat is a starch storage tuber that grows under ground. The roots of the plant are also found underground with green foliage above ground.

Answer 3

Under ground, before you buy it, it had been washed up and checked if it had any bugs or not edible stuff in it, then they take them to the markets and buy them!
