[A] root vegetable [is] a part of a plant grown underground and eaten as food. Root vegetables are a diverse group of foods, including culinary staples such as potatoes, onions, and carrots. Because "root vegetable" is a culinary category rather than a botanical one, it is composed not only of true roots but also bulbs, corms, rhizomes, tubers, and other underground plant structures. 3, record 1, English, - root%20vegetable

L'appellation «légume racine» regroupe de nombreux légumes, de familles et d’apparences différentes. «Botaniquement» parlant, elle concerne également des organes différents. La racine stricto sensu, est la partie souterraine de la plante qui la maintient au sol et qui l'alimente en eau et en sels minéraux. Mais ce n’ est pas le seul organe que l'on trouve sous terre : en effet, les rhizomes ne sont pas des racines, mais des tiges souterraines. Toute racine ou tout rhizome ne se consomme pas. Pour être considérés comme légumes, il faut qu'ils soient «tubérisés», c'est à dire transformés en tubercules. Un tubercule est un organe stockant des aliments de réserve. Il se trouve ainsi «gonflé» par ces derniers. On reconnaitra donc entre autres, comme racine tubérisée, la carotte, le panais, la betterave, le navet ou le radis, et comme rhizome tubérisé, la pomme de terre, le topinambour ou le gingembre. 3, record 1, French, - l%C3%A9gume%2Dracine

La fabrication d’alcool éthylique par fermentation des matières sucrées, puis distillation, est très ancienne, pourtant elle ne satisfait pas des besoins énergétiques, mais des besoins alimentaires, pharmaceutiques de valorisation plus noble.(...) L'utilisation d’alcool éthylique dans des moteurs est possible, elle se développe au Brésil essentiellement.

Cooler falls result in increased sugar content and beet quality, but does so at the expense of root yield. In cooler periods, photosynthesis and sugar production continue in beets, but the cooler conditions are not as conducive to growth, and more of the sugar produced is stored in the roots as less is used in growth. In unusually warm fall weather, just the opposite occurs as tonnage increases at the cost of stored sugar. 1, record 8, English, - stored%20sugar
