storage root

Japanese: storage root(英語表記)storageroot
storage root

…The roots have relatively well-developed parenchyma tissue, and starch is often stored in the cells. Storage roots are those that store nutrients abnormally well. In Brassicaceae, the hypocotyl and taproot base are well developed, and in sweet potatoes, the roots (tuber) themselves are enlarged. Roots that emerge above ground are called aerial roots, and some of them function to provide ventilation.

*Some of the terminology that mentions "storage root" is listed below.
