Question: if you had a plant could you change the plant into something else?

It would be very difficult to change the plant completely but you can improve it in a number of ways such as making its fruit taste nicer or be healthier for you. However, over thousands of years we have been about to change some plants to become those that we eat today, like the potato. The original potato wasn’t very good for you and was probably poisonous but through breeding we have been able to develop all the different types we have today.
