Why potato is called tubers?
NO a tuber is a modified stem used to store water and nutrients when the plant is dormant so that it has enough energy to grow during the next growing season.

The only reason why some people call potato a vegetable is because the majority of the potato is used for water and nutrient storage which makes it very starchy and edible. While any other part of the potato which is green ie. stems and leaves are actually poisonous.
