The significance of the cassava starch as a component of a biodegradable plastic is two fold. First the pre-plastic component is a renewable source, and the post-plastic is biodegradable.
No but they can be used to make Plastics
Rubber is not used though plastics are. Plastics are used to insulate them because they do not conduct electricity
Bioplastics are a form of plastics deriving from hemp oil, soy bean oil and corn starch rather than traditional plastics which are derived from petroleum. Bioplast is a biopolymer material which can be used in the same way as traditional synthetic plastics. It is used in jewelry as a rod in body piercings.

Cassava also known as yuca can be boiled, fried or you can grind it squeeze the liquid out of it, then cook it into a nice flat bread. It is gluten free and taste somewhat like a potato. It can be used as a biofuel. The leaves of some varieties have a degree of toxicity and can be used as a home remedy as well as the tuber itself. You can also make starch to iron with. Cassava should always be cooked, and the bitter variety should be soaked several times.

no because my friend who has a gluten allergy can eat potatoes.
