Arrowroot powder is refined starch extracted from the tubers of an arrowroot plant.
Arrowroot is a thickener, so possible substitutes would be cornstarch or tapioca. Potato starch would be another possibility. In some desserts or clear cold dishes, one might experiment with gelatin in place of arrowroot.
Arrowroot is a form of starch. It is extracted from the plant.
arrowroot (This tolerates freezing and prolonged cooking better, and imparts a glossier finish.)

If you're baking, cornstarch is mainly a thickener, so you could try adding other thickeners: depending on what you're making, you could try potato starch, tapioca starch, etc.
Usually corn starch or arrowroot are the norm, but plain flour can be used but it has to be "merged" with the liquid first.
Bacon Powder or Baking Powder??

Starch powder is a congealing agent used in cooking to thicken puddings, pie fillings, sauces, gravies and other liquids. The various powders are preferred over flour as a thickener because they are flavorless and dissolve easily in hot and cold liquids. Further, many can add a gloss to the foods to which they are added. Cornstarch, arrowroot and tapioca are the most commonly used culinary thickeners. It also can be used in a mixture to lift fingerprints.
