The disappointing answer to this question is that potatoes do not have square roots, the have long stringy roots bearing oblong-ish tubers near the upper end.

These tubers are called potatoes and are often made into a more or less long and square thing called a french fry - unless, of course, you are French, and then it is called une pomme frite. The British, on the other hand, call this thing a "chip" but then what do the British know about french fries...or the French, for that matter.

Anyway, Canadians - French, English and British - know about french fries and so do Americans. Many (approximately one) attempt(s) has/have been made to develop a square potato so that there would be no waste when making french fries. The attempt(s) failed, but in any case this would not necessarily have resulted in square roots; square math teachers have always been best at developing square roots.
