It's good for lots of things. It is found in grapes and raisins, but a the highest source is this root.

How do you propose the roots get their nutrients then? The roots act as a sponge to feed the plant, if the soil is dead the plant will die unlike the size of that root.

The same way as carrots, turnips and beets etc do. The fine water carrying roots from the base of the tuber will have broken away when it was pulled out of the ground or been brushed off after. All the energy is stored in the tuber so that it can go dormant for the cold months and return in spring, if it isn't pulled out of the ground and consumed that is. Leaves and water carrying roots are produced annually, the tuber itself can last for several years and will reproduce by branching.
