Bajo condiciones de cultivo, la papa es una especie anual, herbácea, que por ser su semilla altamente heterocigota se reproduce agámicamente a partir de tubérculos (tallos subterráneos modificados). Los tubérculos son los órganos comestibles de la patata. [...] Los usos de la papa son múltiples, tanto como producto fresco como industrializado, transformándola en uno de los alimentos más versátiles y generalizados. 4, record 1, Spanish, - papa
