Description: Taro plants typically have large, heart-shaped leaves that are often referred to as "elephant ears" due to their size and shape. The leaves can vary in color from deep green to purple-black, depending on the cultivar. Taro is grown both for its edible corms, which are cooked and consumed as a vegetable, and for its ornamental value in gardens and landscapes. It thrives in moist, well-draining soil and prefers partial shade to full sun. Taro is a versatile and culturally significant plant, valued for its culinary uses and aesthetic appeal.
