What part of the potatoes plant do you eat?
the potato A potato is a tuber; a type of underground storage organ that the plant can use to store energy in the form of starch which is used as fuel while the above-ground portion of the plant is growing during the growing season. Tubers are not roots (potato eyes are the roots) and are not fruits (potato plant fruits are found on the above-ground portion.)
How does potato plant reproduce with the help of eyes on the potato tuber?
No, you have to plant the potato. I grew one for a science project once. You have to bury the potato in some soil and leave only an inch of it sticking up. Keep it watered and in a sunny spot. You can plant the eyes of a potato, but only with big chunks of potato still attached. Cut a potato into chunks that contain two or more budding eyes, and let the cut part of the potato harden for a day or so, to help prevent rot. Then plant them about one foot apart with the eyes up (so they can see!). They should be planted about four inches below the ground's surface, but just barely covered over until they begin growing.
If you pick a potato does it die?
The straight-forward is answer is no, at least not straight away... The potato is a tuber and, as part of the plant's root system, has the ability, like many plant roots, to regenerate the plant if it is removed from the root system. A simple way to demonstrate this ability is to take a potato and leave it in a dark drawer/cupboard for a couple of weeks. The potato will grow shoots (known as eyes) as it attempts to find light and soil to grow. If you then plant the potato it will grow into a potato plant again. If the potato is left out of the soil too long it will eventually dry up, begin to rot and then it will die.
