of Marshmallows

Oh the wonderful marshmallow, soft and sweet, pillowy and wonderful; where do you come from?

Marshmallows were a kind of confectionery originally made from starchy balls that are found in the roots of the mallow tree, specifically the mallow trees that grow in marshes, hence the marsh-mallow tree.  The starchy balls are also known by their other name: Tapioca.

So there you go, Tapioca = marshmallow.  Now you know.  Go forth and eat marshmallows or bubble tea.
