| The '''sweet potato''' (''Ipomoea batatas'') is a [[dicotyledon]]ous plant that belongs to the [[Convolvulus|bindweed]] or morning glory family, [[Convolvulaceae]]. Its large, [[starch]]y, sweet-tasting [[tuberous root]]s are used as a [[root vegetable]].<ref name="Purseglove, 1991">{{cite book |last=Purseglove |first=John Williams |year=1968 |title=Tropical crops: D |series=[[Longman Scientific and Technical]]|publisher=[[John Wiley and Sons]]|location=New York |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rYQ_AAAAYAAJ |isbn=978-0-582-46666-1}}{{page needed|date=April 2015}}</ref><ref name="Woolfe, 1992">{{cite book |last=Woolfe |first=Jennifer A. |title=Sweet Potato: An Untapped Food Resource |date=5 March 1992 |location=Cambridge, UK |publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] (CUP) and the [[International Potato Center]] (CIP) |isbn=9780521402958}}</ref> The young shoots and leaves are sometimes eaten as [[Leaf vegetable|greens]].
