Can lotus flowers grow from the lotus roots bought?

It is not possible to plant a piece of lotus root by buying a piece of lotus root in the vegetable market. We need to buy something with lotus root buds to grow it. Of course, if there are conditions, you can also go to the lotus root field to get one, sometimes there are sprouts in the vegetable market, and the varieties with short knots are shallow lotus root varieties. If it really doesn't work, you can use the lotus seed (which can be collected when the lotus seed is formed and planted next year). If the lotus seed is shelled, cut off the tip with a knife to facilitate water absorption and germination.
