Did you know?

  • Soybeans become tofu, soy milk and soy sauce, but most of the world's harvest feeds farm animals.
  • Its roots house bacteria that turn nitrogen from the air into food the plant can use.

Could you guess it from clues?

WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
