A root or a tuber can serve as both a sugar source and a sugar sink during the production. What this means is that when a plant is growing into an adult plant, the root or tuber is used as a sort of fuel source, helping the plant with extra nutrients to ensure growth.

Why is sugar cane not called a stem tuber yet it stores food in the stem?

Sugar cane is not called a stem tuber because it does not develop underground like traditional tubers such as potatoes. Instead, sugar cane stores food in its above-ground stem through the process of photosynthesis. The stem of sugar cane is thick and fibrous, allowing it to store significant amounts of sugar produced during photosynthesis. This distinguishes it from stem tubers, which are modified underground stems used for food storage.
