What Kind Of Plant Is Tapioca?
Tapioca is not a plant itself, but rather it is a starchy substance that is extracted from the root of the cassava plant, which is native to South America. Cassava is a staple crop in many tropical regions of the world, and tapioca (in its various forms, including pearls, flakes, and flour) is commonly used in cooking and baking. Additionally, tapioca is often used as a thickener in soups, gravies, and pudding-like dessert dishes.
