Yes. However technically "root ginger" is a rhizome, not a root.
ginger , turmeric, potato are different examples of underground stem buds.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is from the root or underground stem (rhizome).
A potato produce underground tubers. It is the tubers that are edible.
ginger is called an underground stem or a rhizome because it looks and acts like a root but it is different from a root because it usually grows horizontally. Rhizomes usually produce aerial stems and underground roots from these buds.
From Asia or china Also, Ginger comes from all good supermarkets
You eat the cloves of the garlic. Make sure you peel the outer skin off before you add it to your food. If you can find them garlic scapes, which is the flower part of the garlic, are edible as well as delicious. Highly recommend it.
Potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) produce edible underground tubers.
Ginger with sprout is edible.
Ginger is the name of the entire plant. The bulbous parts you see in shops are actually called 'Rhizomes', however most places call them 'ginger root' to avoid confusion(the actual roots grow out of the Rhizomes, and they are rarely used in food). The leaves can be used to flavour food, and the flowers are also edible.
Ginger ale is actually made from the ginger root.
