[edit] Potatoes, Sweet potatoes

So, potatoes and sweet potatoes are very prominent examples of root vegetables. Are they examples or counterexamples of corms? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.4.173 (talk) 02:15, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

All three are different organs. Potatoes are tubers from stolons, Sweet potatoes are roots, and corms are compressed stems. Hardyplants 02:55, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

As the article already marks the distinction between corms and bulbs, why not also mark the distinction between corms, tubers, stolons and roots. I feel this is still unclear from the article, and I do not feel qualified to modify it myself. --Same guy as first comment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.0.133 (talk) 03:21, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bananas

Any reason why bananas aren't on the list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigturnip (talk BigTurnip (talk) 01:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
