According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, a thyroid nodule is a lump in or on the thyroid gland. Any time a lump is discovered in thyroid tissue, the possibility for cancer needs to be considered. Fortunately, the vast majority of thyroid nodules tend to be benign. The AACE says nodules can be caused by a simple overgrowth of "normal" thyroid tissue, fluid-filled cysts, inflammation, or a tumor.

Do both radish and beans have nodules?

Radishes do not have nodules; they are root vegetables that primarily store nutrients in their fleshy roots. In contrast, beans, which are legumes, do form nodules on their roots. These nodules are home to nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which help the plants convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form they can use for growth. Hence, only beans have nodules, while radishes do not.
