1 Answer

Below.

Explanation:

On the basis of shape and structure:-

Tuber:

  • They are enlarged stem tissues
  • They are either flat or cylindrical in shape.
  • Some of the examples are potatoes and dahlia.

Bulb:

  • They are round and oval in shape
  • They have white fleshy skin
  • They have an outer skin which protects them from the outer environment.
