What is the mode of reproduction potato?

Here's how it works:

* Tubers: These are modified stems that store starch and other nutrients.

* Eyes: The potato tuber has buds called "eyes" on its surface.

* Sprouting: When a potato tuber is planted, the eyes sprout and grow into new potato plants.

* Clones: Each new plant is genetically identical to the parent potato, making it a clone.

Why asexual reproduction?

* Efficient: Potatoes don't need to waste energy producing flowers and seeds.

* Fast: New plants grow quickly from tubers.

* Consistent: All new potatoes are genetically identical, ensuring consistent quality.

While potatoes can produce flowers and seeds, these seeds are not typically used for propagation because they produce plants with varied characteristics.
