Will a potato grow into a plant that will eventually produce another potato? why or why not?

YES, a potato grows into a plant that will eventually produce another potato.

Explanation:

The potato is a special type of stalk that grows underground. On its surface are precious stones called "eyes". Any part of a potato with an eye or a bud can grow into a new plant.

The potato eyes will sprout and grow into a new plant. Potatoes germinate quickly (in 2 weeks) at room temperature (21 degrees Celsius). These shoots become longer and eventually grow into the stems of potato plants later in the growing season. The shoots (which grow from the tuber's eyes) eventually grow out of the ground and become the stem of the new potato plant.

Of course, some store-bought potatoes are treated with a sprouting agent called chloroproham. This chemical will slow or prevent bulb germination and the resulting plants may not grow as vigorously.
