On the other hand tomatoes and potatoes are the same family. You can even graft a tomato plant on top of a potato plant.

Yes indeed. But one is a tubor (under the earth, part of the roots) the other is a fruit (develops from the flower).

Exactly, meaning that you get regular potatoes growing in the roots and tomatoes growing on top. You get both !
