Introduction
As a flowering plant (angiosperm), the potato (Solanum tuberosum) is traditionally categorized as the following: Plant Kingdom, flowering plant phylum (Magnoliophyta = Anthophyta), dicot class (Eudicot class), potato order (Solanales), potato family (Solanaceae).
The herbaceous potato has a normal plant structure, consisting of above-ground branches with leaves and underground roots. The above-ground stem and leaves of this plant, like tulips and a handful of others, are "annual," or they wither and die every year. The plant is perennial because a section below the earth lives and continues to support the organism. A structure known as a tuber, a branch shoot that develops and persists underground, is the perennating component.
