Where do tomato store food?
Tomatoes store food in their fruits.
Here's why:
* Fruits are the reproductive parts of flowering plants. Tomatoes are technically fruits, as they develop from the flower's ovary and contain seeds.
* Fruits are designed to store nutrients. They provide food and energy for the developing seeds inside.
* Tomatoes are fleshy fruits, meaning they have a lot of tissue that can store sugars, starches, and other nutrients.
So, while the entire tomato plant needs to store nutrients to survive, the fruits themselves are the primary storage sites for the plant's food reserves.
