Interesting, Wladimir, but I'm not sure if hey are parasitic. To me it seems like one image shows the useful (edible?) part of the root alone, and the one with the ears shows the plant with larger root structure and some leaves for identification.
The foldout with the "ears" is one of the most mnemonic-heavy parts of the manuscript, in my opinion. This plant, and the one right next to it, have both been drawn like two animals drawing something like a cart or chariot. For example, the first one could be oxen and the second horses, just to say something.
