No, sweet potato and pumpkin are not the same; they are different plants. Sweet potatoes are root vegetables belonging to the Convolvulaceae family, while pumpkins are fruits from the Cucurbitaceae family. They have distinct flavors, textures, and nutritional profiles. While both can be used in similar dishes, they are not interchangeable.
