Apotato plant can reproduce asexually so that one potato can often give rise to many other potatoes. strawberry plants can reproduce sexually. a potato plant puts a large amount of its energy into growing a tuber, which is the part that humans eat. the tuber can grow large and provide energy for the plant during the winter, or it can be used to grow new potato plants. a strawberry plant, on the other hand, puts much of its energy into growing flowers to attract insects that aid in pollination. after fertilization, the strawberry plant must then also grow seeds as well as fruit to attract animals that disperse the seeds. based on this information, the asexually reproducing potato plant most likely devotes to reproduction than the sexually reproducing strawberry plant.
