- For the sweet potato in Pikmin 4, see Daughter of the Earth.
The Child of the Earth (大地の息子?, lit.: "Son of the Earth") is a treasure found in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. It is actually a potato. In Pikmin 2, it's found in sublevel 3 of the Cavern of Chaos buried underground. White Pikmin are needed to dig it up. There are multiple Creeping Chrysanthemums and Mamutas which will disturb the player if the treasure is carried back to the pod too early. In Pikmin 4, it is at the bottom of the summit with the wheel in Sun-Speckled Terrace. After crossing the bridge and taking a turn right, the Treasure Gauge will point to it under the soil, after which the Pikmin can dig it out.
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!”
Schnauz's notes
“This plant sucks the good things out of the ground it grows in to get its lumpy, round shape. No, it doesn't look all that exciting, but I suspect the nutritional value is quite 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.
- The name is likely a reference to the French word for potato, pomme de terre, which translates to "apple of the Earth".
