The plant is a Dioscorea elephantipes. Been raising this cute little one since he was a seed in July 2023 :)

That's so cool! I got super excited when I saw the pic because I thought it was a sweet potato and I wanted to share mine too.

But I'm going to anyways lol because I think it's cool how similar they look

Sweet potato tips and leaves are one of my favourite cooked vegetables.
