Cassava is classified as a root tuber (specifically an adventitious root modification) rather than a stem tuber because it lacks the characteristic features of a stem. Unlike stem tubers like the potato, which possess "eyes" (axillary buds) from which new shoots can grow, cassava tubers do not have these buds. Instead, cassava stores food in swollen roots, and new plants are typically propagated using stem cuttings rather than the tuber itself.
