Potato is not an example of a rhizome; it is an example of a modified underground stem known as a tuber. A tuber is a swollen, underground stem that stores nutrients for the plant. In contrast, a rhizome is a creeping, horizontal stem that grows below the soil surface and gives rise to new shoots and roots. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
