groundnut

Earth-ripening seed pod

Groundnut is the peanut—a legume whose seed pods develop underground.

The name is more common in British English and in regions where peanuts are a staple crop: groundnut oil, groundnut stew.

In some contexts, groundnut refers to other edible tubers or roots that grow beneath the soil.
