A lady who wanted to cook a tuber of yam saw something strange in it when she cut it open.
She did not want to be the only one to see the rot in the yam, so she recorded a video of it and posted it online.

In the video posted by @arys.bite, the lady showed that there was a rot which created a hole in the yam.
She showed the hole to the camera and noted that she had found it. People observed that the rot formed the shape of a star.
She asked her followers if they could tell her how the rot made it into the yam.
The shape of the rot in the yam fascinated social media users. Photo credit: TikTok/@arys.bite.Source: TikTok
The video is captioned:
“I found a star in my yam. How this one take enter yam?”
Many people who saw the video tried hard to interpret what it means for a yam to have a star-shaped hole. Others said it probably meant nothing.
Meanwhile, a group of researchers analysed some yams in Nigeria and found that rots in them were caused by prior physical damage.
The research by M. Acholo et al, stated:
“The extent and causes of yam (Dioscorea rotundata) tuber rots were investigated in Igalaland, Nigeria. Rots were found to be associated with prior physical damage in almost all cases. Numerous fungal species were isolated from the infected lesions of which Fusarium spp. predominated, not Botrydiplodia theobromae as previously reported in other studies. None of the fungi was able to infect undamaged yams in laboratory experiments. The damage was caused by both biotic and abiotic factors of which the yam beetle (Heteroligus meles) was the largest single cause.”
