<< review queue entry 56568 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> "There are basically two types of tubers recognized by botanists: stem tubers and root tubers." http://study.com/academy/lesson/plant-tubers-types-examples-quiz.html - The proper term for a "starchy tuber on stem of plants" is "stem tuber" (an LA example is potato – "potatoes are large tubers that grow from the ends of underground stems") - LA's def of 块根 implies that they are *tuberous roots* (e.g sweet potato, radish, yam) – NOT tubers *on* roots. The botanical term is "root tuber". See also A, K |
