Answer 1

Peanuts are a legume. They grow in bunches under the ground. Georgia has peanut fields all over the place.

Answer 2

Peanuts are actually not nuts. They are a legume, like beans. When the flower is polinated it drops off the plant and forms seeds underground.
Edit: The roots actually stick to the shells. They grow fine root hairs that just happen to meet up wit the shells and grow over the surface just like they would on a rock.
I have grown peanuts. No I haven't seen the nuts grow as that is underground. Tree nuts however can be seen growing as a fruit hanging from the tree.

Answer 3

Roots of a plant.
