The bulbous parts you see in shops are actually called 'Rhizomes', however most places call them 'ginger root' to avoid confusion(the actual roots grow out of the Rhizomes, and they are rarely used in food).
The leaves can be used to flavour food, and the flowers are also edible.

∙ 7y agoThe roots are only part of the plant you should use. The end of the roots should be yellow/tan and the roots should be firm. If green, mold be present and could be within the whole root. Ginger roots should be stored in the fridge until use. When you use the root, cut off as much as you'll need, cut off the brown outer skin, discard it, and cut the ginger as you'll need it for the dish.

In answer to the question I think, wild ginger is a plant that has flowers.
