As mentioned by others that responded
A potato is NOT a fruit.
Is a starchy root tuber
Roots are a vegetative tissue.
Some species of plants have roots that are able to "tuberize"
and form "tubers".
They can accumulate nutrients such as starch, sugar, proteins which can later aid the plant or new plantet.
Us humans have done a good job utilizing them for various food products.

The potato is a herbaceous, freely branching dicotyledonous perennial, usually between 30 and 100 cm tall, with alternate, pinnately compound leaves, made up of three or four pairs of oval leaflets and a terminal leaflet. Cymose inflorescences, arising opposite to leaves (not axillary) near the ends of branches, bear gamopetalous flowers with 5-lobed corollas, which are white, yellow, purple, blue or striped, and about 3 cm across.

A fruit is a seed-containing structure produced from a flower. 'Potatos' (the vegetables we get from potato plants)grow underground as modified roots and have nothing to do with flowers or seeds.

No, fruits grow from flowers. The potato is a tuber & grows underground.

In culinary terms it's a vegetable or carbohydrate (among a few other terms).
In botanical terms it's a tuber.
