sqewth | Wapato

sqewth | Wapato

This aquatic plant grows from tuber-producing rhizomes and produces arrowhead-shaped leaves and white flowers. This word (sqewth) also applies to the introduced potato.
Both the tubers (potato-like structures) and rhizomes (specialized stems) are starchy and edible.
