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-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@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.
