Taro "seeds" are actually plantable bulbs or corms that are ready to grow into plants with large, elephant ear-like leaves and edible, starchy underground tubers. These "seeds" are typically selected for their vibrant green stems and healthy root systems, indicating optimal growth potential. They grow best in warm, humid climates and require well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. / Taro plants (\(Colocasia\ esculenta\)) primarily reproduce asexually from the corms (underground stems), which are the typical "seeds" sold commercially. Though taro can produce true seeds through sexual reproduction, this is rare in cultivated varieties and requires specific breeding techniques.
