All Grow a Garden Root Plants

Root plants are a distinct crop type characterized by their underground growth, classified as vegetables, e.g., Carrot, Onion. During the Beanstalk Update event, these plants are critical when the NPC Jack requests them hourly to grow his magical beanstalk.
Each root plant contributes points based on its rarity (Common = 1, Uncommon = 2, Rare = 3, Legendary = 4, Mythical = 5, Divine = 6, Prismatic = 7) toward the 900 points needed to fully grow the beanstalk, which resets after 60 minutes. Growing the beanstalk will give you various rewards.
