It depends which plant is used for the starch. Some of the names are simply based on the name of the plant.


Some major examples are:

Cassava (or Manioc): Tapioca, Farinha, Gari.

Potato: Potato Starch.
Sweet Potato: Sweet Potato Starch.
Taro: Poi.
Yam (not the same plant as Sweet Potato): Yam Starch.



Arrowroot starch is made from a variety of different plants.
