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.

∙ 11y agoYes, potato eyes tend to sprout if they are warm and moist. Cut the potato into chunks with an eye on each piece. Plant them about a foot apart in spring after the last frost if possible. Dig your new potatoes up in fall after the plants die.

∙ 12y agoThe "eyes" of the potatoes are buds that grow into new plants.

∙ 14y agoPotato plants produce flowers, fruits and seeds. Yet, they never grow from seeds because potato seeds are very weak. They rarely grow into plants.
Hope this answer helps you!

∙ 12y agothey asexually reproduce. meaning that the male and female parts make a spud that gets planted and grows. each potato only has one parent because it came from only one potato.

Potato plant produces flowers fruits and seeds yet they reproduce with the help of eyes on the potato tuber why?
Potato reproduce with the help of eyes on the potato tuber because the seeds of potato are very week. They rarely grow into plants.
When potato plant produces flowers fruits and seeds then why they reproduce with the help of eyes on the potato tuber?
Potato reproduce with the help of the eyes on the potao tuber because the seeds of potato plants are very week and rarely grow into plants.
Why does potato reproduce with the help of eyes on the tuber?
It doesn't - it reproduces via seed and offsets from the potato itself. The eyes are just embryonic shoots.
How does potato reproduce?
A potato is a tuber, a store of energy and a blueprint for the next seasons growth.When a potato is beginning to grow eyes appear on the skin, if planted it is the eyes that grow into a new plant.When the potato plant is fully grown it produces more potatoes.
Why they reproduce with the help of eyes on the potato tuber inspite of producing flowers fruits and seeds?
Potato plant produces flowers, fruits and seeds. Yet they never grow from seeds because potato seeds are very week. They rarely grow into plants
What are the spots present on the potato?
tuber or eyes
Where do you get potato seeds if potatoes don't have seeds?
Potatoes are tubers. Each have "eyes". If you cut the tuber up so that each segment has an eye and plant it, a new plant will grow with several tubers growing underground. "Seed" potatoes have many eyes on the tuber.
Why potato is a stem?
Because the part that turn into the potato is a structure off the stem of the plant. You can see this for yourself because the "eyes" of the potato tuber are stem side shoots.
Does a potato plant reproduce by spores?
Potatoes reproduce asexually by vegetative buds,that are present in leaf scars called eyes,covered by scale leaves.
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 can you make generalization of new plant from eyes?
In potato tuber the axillary buds are situated in a cavity forming an eye like structure. On planting these tubers, these buds develop in to new plants.
What are the organs of the vegetative propagation in a potato?
The potato / tuber is used for propagation.
