No, the Chinese Water Chestnut is not a root. It is a corm, which is a modified underground stem.
Chestnut trees belong to the same family of trees as the oak and beech trees. There are five types of species of chestnuts, European chestnut or the sweet chestnut, Asiatic chestnut which has two species the Japanese and the Chinese chestnut, the American species, and Allegheny Chickapin..
You can cross breed the Chinese chestnut and American chestnut creating a hybrid which has a natural resistance to the parasitic fungus. This resistance can then be passed down through generation.
The Chestnut Blight seems to Originate from Asia because when the Asian Chestnut trees were discovered to have Chestnut Blight infections in Long Island Sound. Some Chinese and Japanese trees had it too and both places are located in Asia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chestnut_blight
I believe it's called a water chestnut.
A yellowhorn is another name for the Chinese flowering chestnut, Latin name Xanthoceras sorbifolium.
