Answer

(4) potato.

Solution

As per NCERT, underground stems of potato, ginger, turmeric, zaminkand and Colocasia are modified to store food.

∵ Potato tuber bears nodes and buds (eyes), so it is a stem.

∵ Carrot is a modified tap root, sweet potato is a modified adventitious root, and groundnut is a fruit (seed eaten) formed underground.

∴ Potato is an edible underground stem.
