Detailed explanation
Sweet potato is a root modification while potato is a stem modification but both of them have same function. Analogous structures are not anatomically similar structures though they perform similar functions.
Analogous structures are the result of convergent evolution.
- Homologous organs are anatomically similar but they do not perform similar function. Homologous organs are the result of divergent evolution.
