No, buttress roots are not edible. They serve the purpose of providing stability and support to large trees in tropical rainforests. They are not meant for human consumption.
Various animals can feed on buttress roots, including insects like termites and wood-boring beetles, as well as larger animals such as rodents, deer, and elephants. These animals typically consume buttress roots for nutrients or as a food source.
Buttress roots are large, above-ground roots commonly found in trees in tropical rainforests. They provide additional support and stability to tall trees with shallow root systems in the nutrient-poor soil. The large surface area of buttress roots helps in absorbing water and nutrients efficiently from the soil. Additionally, they can store water and provide anchorage to withstand strong winds and prevent the tree from toppling over.
Trees are supported by their roots. in the open a tree will have a greater root spread than in a forest as it has no protection from wind. I n a forest protection is afforded by surrounding trees therefore such a large root spread is not required.

A buttress root.
A buttress-root is a root growing from the above-ground stem or trunk, providing support.
A buttress root is NOT called a prop root. A buttress root is a big, thick, snake-like root that runs on the surface of the ground near the tree and helps to hold the tree firmly in place. A prop root/stilt root is a root that grows out of a branch and grows down to the ground to enter into the earth and to help hold the plant steady.
The scientific name for a Buttress Root is "Pneumatophore." It is a specialized root found in certain tree species in tropical forests, providing additional support and stability to the tree in shallow soils.
