1. arachis hypogaea

   The peanut (Arachis hypogaea), also known as the groundnut, goober (US), pindar (US) or monkey nut (UK), is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics, important to both small and large commercial producers. It is classified as both a grain legume and, due to its high oil content, an oil crop. World annual production of shelled peanuts was 44 million tonnes in 2016, led by China with 38% of the world total. Atypically among legume crop plants, peanut pods develop underground (geocarpy) rather than above ground. With this characteristic in mind, the botanist Carl Linnaeus gave peanuts the specific epithet hypogaea, which means "under the earth". The peanut belongs to the botanical family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae), commonly known as the legume, bean, or pea family. Like most other legumes, peanuts harbor symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in root nodules. The capacity to fix nitrogen means peanuts require less nitrogen-containing fertilizer and improve soil fertility, making them valuable in crop rotations. Peanuts are similar in taste and nutritional profile to tree nuts such as walnuts and almonds, and, as a culinary nut, are often served in similar ways in Western cuisines. The botanical definition of a nut is "a fruit whose ovary wall becomes hard at maturity." Using this criterion, the peanut is not a nut. However, peanuts are usually categorized as nuts for culinary purposes and in common English more generally.

1. arachis hypogaea

   Arachis hypogaea, commonly known as the peanut plant, is a species in the legume or "bean" family, Fabaceae. It is native to South and Central America and is renowned for its edible seeds (which are technically legumes, not nuts). The term "hypogaea" means "under the earth", referring to the plant's unusual growth habit where the seed pods mature underground. The peanut plant has a life cycle of 120 to 150 days and is highly adaptable to various climates, soils, and growing conditions. Besides their use in food products, peanuts are also used in the production of oil, soap, cosmetics, dyes, textiles, and insecticides.
