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.
They are poisonous. Never feed them to a hamster!!!!

George Washington Carver was an African American scientist, botanist, educator, and inventor whose studies and teaching revolutionized agriculture in the Southern United States. He is believed to have been born before slavery was abolished in Missouri in January, 1864.
Much of Carver's fame was based on his research and promotion of alternative crops to cotton, such as peanuts and sweet potatoes. He wanted poor farmers to grow alternative crops as both a source of their own food as well as a source of other products to improve their quality of life. His most popular bulletin contained detailed peanut growing instructions and 105 existing food recipes that used peanuts. (How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption)
He also created or disseminated about 100 products made from peanuts that were useful for the house and farm, including cosmetics, dyes, paints, plastics, gasoline, and nitroglycerin.
In the Reconstruction South, an agricultural monoculture of cotton depleted the soil, and in the early 20th century, the boll weevil (a beetle which feeds on cotton buds and flowers) destroyed much of the cotton crop. Carver's work on peanuts was intended to provide an alternative crop in order to restore nitrogen to their soils by practicing systematic crop rotation, alternating cotton crops with plantings of sweet potatoes or legumes (such as peanuts, soybeans and cowpeas) that were also sources of protein.
Carver's important accomplishments also included improvement of racial relations, mentoring children, poetry, painting, and religion. He served as an example of the importance of hard work, a positive attitude, and a good education. His humility, humanitarianism, good nature, frugality, and lack of economic materialism also have been admired widely.
Before carver began his peanut campaign in 1896 the peanut had not even been recognized as a crop, but within the next half century it became one of the six leading crops in the Unites States and second in the south.
Carver is often incorrectly credited with the invention of peanut butter since he developed hundreds of uses for peanuts helping spread the popularity of peanut crop and peanut butter thus spreading also this common mistake.
