Spice? Man made?!!?????
Spices are usually ground from seeds of a plant or vegetable for example chilli (from chilli seeds), cumin, nutmeg, etc
Ginger is a root.
EDIT: sorry not actually a root but a rhizome

Ginger is a root. People use it as a spice on food. Most spices are not man made. They are naturally found in the environment. Man can harvest the spices, like salt, which is a spice, has to be harvested from rocks.

Ginger is in fact the root growth of the ginger shrub. Buy it from most supermarkets. Use it by grating it finely into your cooking. Use in curries and goulash and other stews.
The fresh ginger really has a bite so be careful.

Don't be stupid, what do you mean spice is a man made thing? What about Cumin, Paprika, Chilli Powder, Coriander Seed, Nutmeg, Turmeric, Cinnamon etc...I suppose they are all man made are they?

Spices are not man made. They come from plants in various forms. They are powdered for use by man.

It's a root, and is used in cooking such as curries, or pies such as a fruit pie or crumble buy it fresh, peel skin and either chop or grate into the dish you are making
