The eddo, also known as taro or dasheen, is not a yam, although they are often confused. Eddo belongs to the family Araceae and is characterized by its starchy corms and heart-shaped leaves, while true yams belong to the Dioscorea genus. Yams are typically drier and starchier, whereas eddos have a more moist texture and are commonly used in various cuisines. Both are root vegetables, but they are distinct in terms of botanical classification and culinary uses.
