Foremost among these are whakapapa and the associated metaphysical concepts of tapu- an intrinsic spiritual integrity and potentiality for power of a thing, and mauri-the elemental energy or material life force that constitutes the essential self or essence of a thing (Shirres 1997).
Inclusion of root crops and vines in the same whakapapa appears to be explained by the strong morphological similarity between the extended vine-like branches of the kumara plant and the other vines or climbers, and possibly also the fact that white flowers are prevalent among them all.
But human whakapapa involve only a single species and therefore are more closely allied in terms of their underlying philosophy to modern phylogenetic classifications in their presumption of relationships based on genetically inherited characteristics; thus both can lay claim to being genealogies.
