Common plants:
* Potatoes: These are actually modified stems called tubers, which store starch underground.
* Sugarcane: The stem is filled with sugary sap, which is the source of sugar.
* Cactus: These store water and nutrients in their thick, fleshy stems.
* Ginger: The underground stem, called a rhizome, stores starch and other nutrients.
* Bamboo: The stem is hollow but has nodes where food is stored.
* Asparagus: The edible part is actually the stem's new shoots.
Other examples:
* Yams: These are also modified stems (tubers) that store food.
* Kohlrabi: The swollen stem is a source of food.
* Beetroot: The fleshy part of the beetroot is a taproot, but the stem also stores some nutrients.
These are just a few examples; many other plants store food in their stems to varying degrees.
It's important to note that not all stems are edible, and some may contain toxins. Always research a plant before consuming it.
