The Child of the Earth (大地の息子?, lit.: "Child of the Earth") is a treasure found in Pikmin 2. 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 potato. There are multiple Creeping Chrysanthemums and Mamutas which will disturb you if you carry The Child of the Earth back to the pod too early.
Notes
Olimar's journal
“Today, buried in a deep hole, I found a vegetable that I'd never seen before. This dark-dwelling vegetable stores all of its nutritious energy in its roots. The ship named it Child of the Earth, and I think it's fitting.”
Sales pitch
“This plant has grown fat on the blessings of the land. Its nutritional value must be high!”

Trivia
- Although Olimar claims he has never seen a potato before, it is clear that potatoes are known to Hocotatians, given that Louie's notes for the Emperor Bulblax mention the vegetable[1]. It is, however, possible that potatoes on Hocotate are different from those on Earth.
