Peanut, also known as groundnut and goober is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics, being important to both smallholder and large commercial producers. It is classified as both a grain legume, and, because of its high oil content, an oil crop. World annual production of shelled peanuts was 42 million tonnes in 2014. Atypically among crop plants, peanut pods develop under the ground. It is this characteristic that the botanist Linnaeus used to assign the specific name hypogaea, which means "under the earth".
