A tuberous root is a modified lateral
root, enlarged to function as a
storage organ. It is thus different in origin but similar in function and coarse appearance to a
tuber. Examples of plants with notable tuberous roots include the
sweet potato (the most popular tuberous root),
cassava and
Dahlia. It is a structure used to perenniallize the plant so in can survive from one year to the next.
