Hi lilacwine
I'm afraid that's the point - tubers are swollen stems, not roots. Carrots and parsnips are roots, though, I think.

They are.........and turnips and swedes!

I agree with you Lilacwine..! I passed my Biology too..'Tuber' is fine by me.! Chrise is so patronising..! :-9

It said root not tuber. That was the whole point!

Wikipedia informs me (to my surprise) that there are "root tubers" too - we hadn't heard of those plants when I did biology!

Potatoes aren't roots, though!

You need to work on your emojis, raymond :)

I remain stuck on 23A Sub-heading under a bra (9) So far I have ???N?L?R?. I am not sure about the R, or the N for that matter !, so no wonder I cannot get it! Help please.

the n should be an A and the R should be an N - if that helps !

strapline?

yes - tried to give a hint only

Thank you both. I now have to rethink my 17D and 21D.
