I personally feel that the question of whether lotus roots are vegetables or trees and flowers has no value.

The classification of plants itself is an artificial activity. It does not mean that lotus roots cannot be eaten if they are classified as trees, flowers and plants, right?

Sometimes in order to improve the ornamental quality, some cultivated species will be produced.

For example,

Sugar beet is undoubtedly a sugar crop, but it is cultivated into Ornamental plants include red-stemmed beet and yellow-stemmed beet, which are more ornamental, but their yield is almost zero.

Another example is rapeseed. There is no doubt that it is an oil crop. Those from Wuyuan, Jiangxi, and Luoping, Yunnan are both crops and have great ornamental value. Which category do you think it belongs to? I'm afraid it's difficult to classify.
