Here's why:

* Cell Wall: Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose that provides structure and support. Animal cells lack this cell wall.

* Chloroplasts: Plant cells contain chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for photosynthesis. These are absent in animal cells.

* Large Central Vacuole: Plant cells have a large central vacuole that stores water and nutrients. While animal cells may have vacuoles, they are much smaller and less prominent.

Potatoes are the edible tubers of the potato plant, and therefore their cells exhibit all the characteristics of plant cells.
