Random information on the term ” Yam”:

Yam is the common name for some plant species in the genus Dioscorea (family Dioscoreaceae) that form edible tubers. Yams are perennial herbaceous vines cultivated for the consumption of their starchy tubers in many temperate and tropical world regions, especially Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The tubers themselves are called “yams”, and there is a variety owing to numerous cultivars and related species.

The name “yam” appears to derive from Portuguese inhame or Canarian (Spain) ñame, which derived from West African languages during trade. The main derivations borrow from verbs meaning “to eat”.

True yams have various common names across multiple world regions.

In some places, other (unrelated) root vegetables are sometimes referred to as “yams”, including:

A monocot related to lilies and grasses, yams are vigorous herbaceous vines providing an edible tuber. They are native to Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Some yams are also invasive plants, often considered a “noxious weed”, outside cultivated areas. Some 870 species of yams are known, and 95% of these crops are grown in Africa.
