Why Do Peanuts Grow Underground
2017-01-17 09:00:23 · answer #2 · answered by benware 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
The tip of the ovary, bearing from 1–5 ovules, grows out from between the floral bracts, bearing with it the dried petals, calyx lobes and hypanthium; creating a unique floral stucture—the peg. The peg quickly turns down toward the soil and thrusts its tip with its ovules several centimeters into the soil where the tip turns horizontally and develops into the pod.
It is not uncommon to find the blossoms with their yellow petals 3 inches below the soil surface.

They're shy. You have to break through that outer shell, and all.
