Yeah, there are sweet tubers. But, you can't put a raw piece of sweet potato in a fruit salad. If you cooked it to bring out the sweetness it would be as sweet as the fruit in the salad, but it would stand out for being very mushy.
I haven't heard the term "pulse" before, I've heard "legumes". But, yeah, that group has a lot of variety. Red beans are frequently used as a sweet filling in east Asian cooking, chickpeas as crunchy snacks, etc.
It's more an issue of consistency than of taste though with sweet potatoes. There are some fruits that also don't fit into a fruit salad for similar reasons, like e.g. passion fruit or very soft kinds of nectrarines.
But I have seen ginger in fruit salad before.
Like, a big knob of ginger? Or just ginger shavings?
