Why potato grow from seeds?

Potatoes don't actually grow from seeds in the traditional sense. They grow from tubers, which are modified stems that store food for the plant.

Here's why:

* Potatoes are part of the nightshade family, and like other nightshades (tomatoes, peppers), they produce fruit that contains seeds. However, these seeds are not the primary means of reproduction for potatoes.

* The tubers are the primary way potatoes reproduce. When you plant a potato tuber, it will sprout eyes that produce new plants. These eyes contain buds that develop into new stems, leaves, and ultimately, more tubers.

While potatoes can be grown from seeds, it's a much more complicated and time-consuming process. This is because:

* Seeds are much smaller and more delicate. It takes more care and time to germinate and grow them into mature plants.

* Seeds don't always produce true-to-type potatoes. They can produce a variety of potatoes with different characteristics.

Therefore, planting potato tubers is the most common and efficient way to grow potatoes.
