No. It is true that peanuts grow underground but they grow down from the branches of the plant above. They burrow into the soil and then mature. Farmers have to plow the field to get the peanuts.That's right a peanut is not a root.The peanut plant is a legume and like other legumes produces seeds in a pod, like a bean or pea.After flowering,when the pod starts to form, the plant bends down to the earth and buries its pods in the ground. The pods then mature underground.
