What is the eye of potato : -The potato tuber is a modified underground stem (stem tuber), swollen with stored starch.
Its 'eyes' are nodes, each with a small scale leaf and an axillary bud in its axil.
These buds sprout to form new plants, which is why potato is propagated by cutting tubers into pieces with eyes.
So the eye of potato is an axillary bud.
