Tubers help plants perennate (survive winter or dry months), provide energy and nutrients, and are a means of asexual reproduction. [1] Stem tubers manifest as thickened rhizomes (underground stems) or stolons (horizontal connections between organisms); examples include the potato and yam.

Tuber is a genus in the fungal family Tuberaceae, with estimated molecular dating to the end of the Jurassic period (156 Mya). [2] It includes several species of truffles that are highly valued as delicacies.
Anemone tuberosa, the desert anemone or tuber anemone, is a herbaceous species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. Plants grow 10 to 30, sometimes 40 cm (16 in) tall, from a woody-like tuber shaped like a caudex. Plants have 1 to 3 basal leaves that are 1 or 2 times ternate.
The plants often grow together in crowded colonies and spread by runners at or just under the soil surface. In late summer the plants produce tubers that are twice as long as wide, [9] each typically measuring 0.5 to 5 cm (1 ⁄ 4 to 2 in) in diameter. [8] The plant produces rosettes of leaves and an inflorescence on a long rigid scape.
A geophyte (earth+plant) is a plant with an underground storage organ including true bulbs, corms, tubers, tuberous roots, enlarged hypocotyls, and rhizomes. Most plants with underground stems are geophytes but not all plants that are geophytes have underground stems. Geophytes are often physiologically active even when they lack leaves.
Young plant with tuber. Cyperus esculentus is an annual or perennial plant, growing to 90 centimetres (3 feet) tall, with solitary stems growing from a tuber. The plant is reproduced by seeds, creeping rhizomes, and tubers. [15] Due to its clonal nature, C. esculentus can take advantage of soil disturbances caused by anthropogenic or natural ...
Tuber oregonense, commonly known as the Oregon white truffle, is a species of edible truffle in the genus Tuber. Described as new to science in 2010, the North American species is found on the western coast of the United States, from northern California to southern British Columbia west of the Cascade Range .
