{{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 actually a {{w|potato}}.

== Collecting the treasure in ''Pikmin 2'' ==
{{guide}}
It's found in sublevel 3 of the [[Cavern of Chaos]] buried underground. [[White Pikmin]] are needed to [[dig]] it up. There are multiple [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]s and [[Mamuta]]s which will disturb you if the treasure is carried back to the pod too early.

== Collecting the treasure in ''Pikmin 4'' ==
{{guide}}

=== Sun-Speckled Terrace ===
There is a Child of the Earth completely buried near the north-middle section of the overworld, just before the summit with the wheel. It can be located more precisely with the [[Treasure Gauge]] or by searching for treasure using [[Oatchi]]. To collect this treasure, you must throw 7 Pikmin in its vicinity so they can [[dig]] it up.

=== Engulfed Castle ===
There is a Child of the Earth half-buried and partially submerged underwater near the top of sublevel 3 of the [[Engulfed Castle]]. It is guarded by a [[Wollywog]], which should be defeated before attempting to collect it. To collect this treasure, you must throw 7 Pikmin at it.

== 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".
