{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \pink{ \tt{answer}}}}}

Sweet potato is a modified food storage root. Potato is indeed a stem that grew from stolons, the underground stems. Potato tubers contain buds that produce leaves and stems, whereas roots lack these characteristics. On the other hand, sweet potato is indeed a root that is rich in vitamins and nutrients.
