Morel mushrooms do this too. You have to be very quiet when walking through the woods or they will go back down under the soil.

Why are all the videos of the ginseng escaping so zoomed in? It makes me think there's string attached to the plant and someone's ripping it out of the ground to make it appear that it's just jumping out of the way

Ginseng is really a top tier medicinal plant... It is also mentioned in ayurveda and is called Ashwagandha. Indian ginseng ( ashwagandha) is particularly better compared to its other variations less side effects

In Mizo legends it is believed that sweet potatoes can be sometimes alive like a human and are called "Hrami" and they tend to be found underground sleeping and having a body and blood just like a human but flesh made up of sweet potato. If a person would accidentally encounter one while digging them then the Hrami would curse the person with the exact language they speak and the person dies in a few days or week with a horrible misfortune happening to the deceased person's leanage and family throughout generations

No, Ginseng cannot run away when picked. It is a plant, and plants do not have the ability to move on their own. The idea of a Ginseng root running away is a myth or a folktale.
Ginseng is a valuable spice and medicinal herb that has been used for centuries. It is known for its various health benefits and culinary uses.




Here are the reasons why the claim that a 100-year-old Ginseng root can run away when picked is not true:
1. Ginseng is a Plant, Not an Animal:
* Plants lack the necessary biological structures and systems to move independently. They are rooted to the ground and rely on photosynthesis for energy.
* Animals, on the other hand, possess muscles, nerves, and a skeletal system that enable them to move.
2. Lack of Nervous System:
* GinsengGinger, like all plants, does not have a nervous system. A nervous system is essential for coordinating movement and response to stimuli. Without it, a plant cannot initiate voluntary actions like running.
3. No Muscles for Movement:
* Muscles are responsible for generating force and enabling movement. Plants do not have muscles, so they cannot contract or relax to produce motion.
4. No Sensory Organs for Perception:
* Sensory organs like eyes, ears, and touch receptors allow animals to perceive their environment and respond accordingly. Plants lack these sensory organs, so they cannot detect threats and initiate a flight response.
5. Dependence on External Factors for Growth:
* Ginger, like all plants, relies on external factors such as sunlight, water, and nutrients from the soil to grow and survive. It cannot generate its own energy or sustenance.
In conclusion, the claim that a 100-year-old ginger root can run away when picked is a clear example of a myth or a misunderstanding of plant biology. Ginger is a plant, and plants do not possess the biological capabiliti dependently.

I feel like if I had to pick it I would just grab it and dig my fingers in the dirt because I do not have the patience

[Monkey-D-Luffy_d]

I just learned a few weeks ago that ginseng is nothing but a sort of poison ivy
