        If they used this book to teach biology, one should hit the teacher instead.

            It appears to be a music album. I didn’t even know they were plants, much less vegetables!

              You didn’t dive deep enough; the album is named after something.

        It comes from Latin “malum terrae”, which has been attested in French since 1488 to designate various tuber or bulb plants

      Big Yud was homeschooled after biting a maths teacher.

      This fact makes it into his Harry Potter fan fic as a self insert.
