Starch extracted from tubers and roots, such as potatoes, arrowroot, tapioca, etc.
Food thickeners frequently are based on either polysaccharides (starches, vegetable gums, and pectin), or proteins. A flavourless powdered starch used for this purpose is a fecula (from the Latin faecula, diminutive of faex meaning "dregs"). This category includes arrowroot, cornstarch, katakuri starch, potato starch, sago, and tapioca.
