Sweet potatoes grow from the "slips" or sprouts that emerge from the main root (tuber) of the sweet potato plant. These slips can be detached and planted separately to grow into new sweet potato plants. Each plant can produce multiple tubers, which can then be harvested and replanted to continue the cycle.

Sweet potatoes primarily reproduce vegetatively through their storage roots. When planted, these roots can sprout new shoots, which develop into new plants.

This method of reproduction allows for efficient propagation without the need for seeds.

Sweet potatoes are flowering plants, so they reproduce sexually by producing seed. They also reproduce vegetatively from the tubers (which we eat). When we grow them as a crop we plant stem cuttings called slips. This is also vegetative reproduction but it's us doing it not the plant.
