Whean

Whean is a type of crop that is found on the (ficticious) planet ASTAKOS IV.

Since this form of life evolved out of The Earth it cannot be classified in the same taxonomic families or common groups that we use on Earth. However, whean is a photosynthetic organism, this means that it obtains energy from the sunlight and uses it to build its own organic matter, which makes it have a similar form of life than many plants on earth.

Whean is a fast growing plant. It can go from seedlings to fully grown plants in about 30 days, which, together with its high nutritive capacity, makes whean a perfect species to cultivate and feed the human population in ASTAKOS IV.
