Potato is a which type of crop?

The potato is a tuber crop (an underground storage organ plant). Here’s why: Potatoes grow from underground stems called “tubers,” which store nutrients for the plant. They are not cereals (which are seed crops like wheat or rice), and they are not fruits of the plant above ground. Because potatoes store energy underground and are harvested as that underground part, they are classed as a “root & tuber” type of crop. As Disha Jute explains the packaging needs for crops like potatoes, proper storage and ventilation are important for tuber crops. So, to answer simply: potato is a tuber/underground crop.
