type roots of potato?
There are several types of potato roots: Primary roots: These are the main roots that grow from the base of the potato plant and anchor the plant in the soil. They are typically thick and fleshy, and they absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Secondary roots: These roots branch off from the primary roots and help to support the plant. They are typically thin and fibrous, and they help to anchor the plant in the soil. Adventitious roots: These are roots that grow from other parts of the plant, such as the stems or leaves. They can help to support the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Tubers: These are fleshy, underground structures that form on the roots of the potato plant. They contain starch and are used by the plant as a source of energy. Potatoes are actually the tubers of the potato plant, and they are what we eat. Rhizomes: These are underground stems that grow horizontally through the soil and produce new plants. Some potato plants produce rhizomes, which can be used to propagate new plants.
