Directions: The following three questions refer to the paragraph below.
Potatoes are underground storage organs of potato plants. They store a lot
of starch. A potato plant may develop five to six potatoes during summer.
These potatoes remain dormant in the soil throughout the winter. Each of them
may give rise to new plants in the next spring.

A potato is
A a corm.
B a stem tuber.
C a rhizome.
D a bulb.
