Origin of tuber? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

root

I believe this is a double definition.

'origin' is the first definition.
(I know that origin can be written as root)

'tuber?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for root that I've seen before include "could be square" , "Tuber" , "Origin - stem" , "support" , "grub" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
