Why ground nuts grow below the soil?

Ground nuts grow below the soil because that's where they develop from the flowers of the peanut plant. As the peanut plant grows, the flowers send out a stalk that elongates and eventually penetrates the soil, where the peanut pods then develop. This natural process protects the developing nuts and helps them germinate.

Is a peanut a root?

No. It is true that peanuts grow underground but they grow down from the branches of the plant above. They burrow into the soil and then mature. Farmers have to plow the field to get the peanuts.That's right a peanut is not a root.The peanut plant is a legume and like other legumes produces seeds in a pod, like a bean or pea.After flowering,when the pod starts to form, the plant bends down to the earth and buries its pods in the ground. The pods then mature underground.
