What part of the plant is the sugar cane or beet?

Sugar cane and sugar beet are both sources of sucrose, but they come from different parts of the plant. Sugar cane is a type of grass, and the sugar is extracted from its stalks. In contrast, sugar beet is a root vegetable, with sugar extracted from its fleshy root. Both plants undergo processing to convert their sugars into the sweetener commonly used in food and beverages.
