{{for|the sweet potato in Pikmin 4|Daughter of the Earth}}

The '''Child of the Earth''' ({{j|大地の息子|Daichi no Musuko|Son of the Earth}}) is a treasure found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It is found in Sublevel 3 of the [[Cavern of Chaos]] buried underground. [[White Pikmin]] are needed to [[dig]] it up. The Child of the Earth is actually a {{w|potato}}. There are multiple [[Creeping Chrysanthemum|Creeping Chrysanthemums]] and [[Mamuta|Mamutas]] which will disturb you if you carry The Child of the Earth back to the pod too early. In Pikmin 4, it is at the bottom of the summit with the wheel in [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]]. Once you cross the bridge, take a turn right. Use the [[Treasure Gauge]] to find it under the soil, and then use your [[Pikmin]] to dig it up.

{{transcript|This plant sucks the good things out of the ground it grows in to get its lumpy, round shape. No, it doesn't look all that exciting, but I suspect the nutritional value is quite high.|block=y}}

==Trivia==
*Although Olimar claims he has never seen a potato before, it is clear that potatoes are known to [[Hocotate|Hocotatians]], given that [[Louie's notes]] for the [[Emperor Bulblax]] mention the vegetable{{cite quote|{{Notes:Emperor Bulblax/louie}}|Louie|[[Louie's notes]] for the [[Emperor Bulblax]]}}. It is, however, possible that potatoes on Hocotate are different from those on Earth.

*The name is likely a reference to the French word for potato, ''pomme de terre'', which translates to "apple of the Earth".
