I will leave them alone if they are attached, intact and firm/ healthy. I think they feed the plant until roots grow. Most tubers I have purchased have not got enough roots to support a large fast growing plant just from the budding crown because they have been divided and the roots severely pruned . They also nourish the crown and keep it alive during prolonged cold storage.
