Tuber vs. Corm

From: plantnut at macconnect.com (Dewey Fisk) on 1999.01.12 at 00:54:07(2879)
I was talking with a Ph.D Botanist (name withheld for obvious reasons) who
is a recognized authority on different types of bulbs.... He said, when I
asked him, that Amorphophallus is a corm and not a tuber or bulb. I think
he said something about the cell structure.....
Do we want to start this discussion again....???
Which is it?
