Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hurricanes can indeed have embedded secondary vortices similar to tornadoes, which are essentially smaller, intense whirlwinds that can form within the eyewall or outer bands of a hurricane. These are often referred to as "tornadoes" when they occur in the context of a hurricane, as they share similar characteristics with the tornadoes that occur in land-based thunderstorms.
