What is a modified food storage stem?

Modified stems have been altered by the parent plant to fit the needs of the plant. There are three examples I will be stating here. First, there are the stolon. They grow horizontally along the ground and they grow above the ground. An example would be strawberries. Next, there are the tuber stems. They are enlarged underground stems that are for starch storage. An example of this would be potatoes. Finally, there are the succulent stems. They are fleshy and often leafless. They are used for water storage. An example would be cacti.
