I beleive it's "yam" or "mandioca". I don't know a translation
for mandioca, there mustn't be one. I also couldn't find scientific
names.
"Tapioca" is a kind of a flour made of the mandioca root, also a
kind of a pancake made with that flour (at least here, where I live).
Hmmmm, delicious with coconut scrape and some butter.
