Is it not? There's some kind of underground structure there, though I don't know botanically what sort. It's always grown with just the neck of the tuber (or whatever it is) and the deciduous foliage above ground for me, never as a caudiciform, so I just assumed it was within the mandate. But if it's not appropriate here then sorry, and I'll ask that any replies be sent to me personally.
