The potato is classified as a dicot because it belongs to the family Solanaceae and exhibits key characteristics of dicotyledons, such as having two seed leaves (cotyledons) in its embryonic stage. Additionally, dicots typically have net-like leaf venation, flower parts in multiples of four or five, and vascular tissue arranged in a ring, all of which are traits observed in potatoes. This classification helps in understanding its growth patterns, reproductive structures, and evolutionary relationships with other plants.
