A little brain-teaser

One of these things is not like the others.

Let's see...

One of them is purple.
One of them is not spherical (technically, none of them are, but all but one are things we would call sphere-shaped in our everyday lives).
One of them is a root and the others are parts of the plant's reproductive system (I won't go so far as to say they're all fruits, because there's a very technical definition of fruits that leaves out all sorts of random things that we normally call fruits).
Similarly, one of them grows underground.
One of them (as mentioned by other people above) is not a type of nightshade (I don't think I would have gotten that on my own--I don't think I knew potatoes were nightshade).

Umm... Two of them are Old World plants...

one of them does not have the letter "t" in its name
