Silken tofu is a type of tofu that has a smooth and soft texture, similar to custard. It is made by coagulating soy milk without curdling it, resulting in a delicate and creamy consistency. Regular tofu, on the other hand, has a firmer texture and is made by pressing curdled soy milk into blocks.

Silken tofu is a food, so I'm not entirely sure what you mean by a "food equivalent" for it... If you mean a 'meat equivalent, there is none. And if you mean 'a substitute for' silken tofu, normal tofu will usually work if the recipe is savory. But don't use regular tofu as a replacement for silken in an ice-cream/mousse dessert; in this case there is no replacement for silken tofu.

Yes and no, tofu is made from soybean, which is a different genus from the regular beans.
To make silken tofu at home, blend soaked soybeans with water, strain the mixture, heat the soy milk, add a coagulant like lemon juice or vinegar, and let it set in a mold.

Some creative ways to incorporate flavored tofu into a delicious and nutritious meal include marinating tofu in a flavorful sauce before grilling or baking, adding crumbled tofu to stir-fries or salads for added protein, blending silken tofu into smoothies or desserts for a creamy texture, and using seasoned tofu as a filling for tacos or wraps.
Tofu is made from soy milk which is extracted from soy beans (bean curd). There is no dairy in regular tofu.
Uncurdled tofu, or soft or silken tofu, is usually made using seawater as a softer coagulant, directly in the container or plastic bag used for selling it. It is still curdled, but to a much lesser extent than other traditional tofu. This tofu is not drained and therefore retains all its water, making it almost like a light custard rather than the firmer tofu from which water has been partly extracted by pressure.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tofu Tofu is like cheese, but made from soy milk (which is made from soy beans). Tofu can also be made from almonds or black beans. Regular Soy Tofu doesn't have much flavor and can be purchased flavored or plain, and in different textures, like soft, medium and firm.
Tofu itself is not 'watery' as in 'running liquid', but it contains a large quantity of water, even when pressed as firm or extra firm tofu to expel some of the water content. This water is part of the water introduced during the soy milk making process. A minor portion of the water comes from the coagulant agent introduced in the tofu making process, for instance sea water in the case of soft (or silken) tofu.
