The little roots that grow out of potato always seemed odd to me. They are not supposed to be there. Seeing them on an aging potato in the cupboard, I decided to literally look into one. What I saw in this root were familiar cell structures, not vastly different from the cells I have seen on all my other tours. The microscope, after all, is an equalizer that breaks all the variety in the world down into common elements.
