The plant that produces cassava, manioc, and tapioca starch is Manihot esculenta, commonly known as cassava or manioc.12
A member of the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae), this tuberous plant is native to the American tropics. Its roots are processed to create various food products, including flour and tapioca, which is a starch derived from the root. Because many varieties contain cyanogenic glucosides, the plant requires careful preparation—such as peeling, cooking, soaking, or fermentation—to remove toxic compounds before it can be safely consumed.12
