Some plants also form smaller tubers and/or tubercules, which act like seeds, producing small plants that resemble (in morphology and size) seedlings. Some stem tubers, such as those of tuberous begonias , are long lived, but many tuberous plants have tubers that survive only until the plants are in full leaf, at which point the tuber is ...
