Well, honey, back in the day, both "tomato" and "potato" were spelled with an "e" on the end. That's just how the English language used to roll. But eventually, someone decided to ditch the extra letter and now we're left with the simpler versions we use today. So, there you have it, a little history lesson served with a side of sass.

Can a tomato make its own food?

The tomato plant certainly makes its own food because it is a green plant. The tomato fruit (or veggie if you will) does not make food because it is the fruit of the tomato plant and is just for passing on the seeds.


What are the little round fruits that the flowers from the potato plants grow into and are they used for anything?

Those little "fruits" on the potato plant are exactly that - they are the fruit of the plant and, like all fruits, contain the seeds to grow new plants.The potato plant is from the same family as the tomato, Solanaceae, so those little fruits are the equivalent of the etable tomato that grows on the tomato plant. The potato fruit, however, is poisonous, as are all the above-ground parts of the potato plant, so do not attempt to eat them.You can grow potato plants from the seeds but it is a bit of a waste of time since the plant grows easily from the "eyes" of the potato tuber itself, either whole or cut up, provided there is at least one eye on each piece that you plant.
