Taro

Below is a picture of Taro growing in Hawaii: There seem to be two parts to the plant -- the leaf (which I'm not sure if you eat or not) and the root, or [|corm].

(note -- I thought that was a typo and that it meant "corn" with an "n" -- but corm with an "m" is something else)

In much of Latin America (definitely Nicaragua) people eat a lot of taro (Katie BC).

Here's the [|Wikipedia article about Taro]. It has basic information and some good pictures at the end.
