minus-squareA Phlaming Phoenixlinkfedilink0•4 months agoCinnamon and sumac are two common spices that are made from grinding up tree bark.
minus-squareEcho Dotlinkfedilink0•4 months agoAlso ginger. And technically wormwood too, although that’s more you drinking water that is soaked into wood.
minus-square@die444die@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•4 months agoGinger is a root, maybe you’re thinking of something else?
minus-squareJojo, Lady of the Westlinkfedilink0•4 months agoI think most would consider most tree roots to be “woody”
minus-squarecredit crazylinkfedilink0•4 months agoEh what is a root if not wood that is covered in dirt
minus-square@die444die@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•4 months agoSo is a potato wood? A carrot? Ginger is not a tree. It’s a flowering plant.
minus-squareEcho Dotlinkfedilink0•4 months agoA potato is not a flowering plant it’s a tuba, such as an onion. Totally different thing entirely to a bit of wood attached to a tree.

minus-square@die444die@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•4 months agoAnd potato is a tuber but an onion is not. Both are flowering plants. So is ginger. Ginger has nothing to do with ‘a bit of wood attached to a tree’ which is exactly my point.
minus-squareAnIndefiniteArticlelinkfedilink0•4 months agoPotato plants absolutely have flowers. Have you ever grown one? Be careful with the potato flowers and fruits. They are poisonous nightshade.

minus-square@Fermion@feddit.nllinkfedilink0•4 months agoThe bit about powdered sumac (bark?) being a powerful dye for marble is pretty interesting. I wish there was an example photo.
minus-squareA Phlaming Phoenixlinkfedilink0•4 months agoI stand corrected on that one. I assumed it was sumac bark, and you know what they say about assumption. It makes an ass out of u and mption.

The root of a tree. Made of wood.
No, ginger is not a tree.

It’s not a tree root.
Is it woody?
It is not.
