Elephant foot refers to several things united by visual resemblance to a pachyderm's broad, wrinkled limb.

In botany, it's a succulent plant with a thick, textured trunk base.

In furniture, it's a carved leg ending in a wide, rounded foot.

The condition elephantiasis causes severe leg swelling sometimes called elephant foot.

The elephant foot plant thrived in the sunny corner.
