[Po-dev] tuber developmental stages

[Dws]

Technically in anatomy and morphology, tuber is used only for stems.
Sometimes in the general language of ecology etc it is used for swollen
roots as a mistake or mistaken identity.  Conversely, tubers are often
called roots but mistake.  I think using tuber for stems and root tuber
for swollen roots would be best.  There is no need to add adjectives to
the proper definition.
