What is the mode of reproduction of potatoes?

The potato (also known as the potato) reproduces asexually using tubers.

The potato (spud), is the most important food crop used as a staple food for humans in the modern world, apart from cereals.

The potato's origin is in the remote Andes of South America. With the conquest of the Andes by the Spanish colonizers, the potato was also taken back to Europe by the colonizers as a kind of "spoils of war".

The widespread spread of the potato as a food crop across the continent is due in no small part to an ordinary French agronomist, Barmanage, who recognized the potato's good food value: it made bread and was easy to cook. By the time history crossed the threshold of the 19th century, the potato had spread throughout Europe.

Modern science has proved that, in addition to the energy provided by carbohydrates, the potato provides a considerable amount of protein and vitamins, and that all it lacks is vitamin A, which can be supplied by drinking milk - the potato also inadvertently put an end to scurvy.
