=== Etymology ===
Polysiton is derived from the Greek prefix πολυ-, meaning many, and σιτον, meaning grain and figuratively food. This is in agreement with its nature, noted for its rich biome, particularly edible things.
===Composition===
Like any other terrestrial planet, Polysiton features the core, the mantle, and the crust. Like the Earth, Polysiton also features the outer molten core, made largely of the transitional metals, including but not limited to Zinc, Iron, Zirconium, Palladium, and Cobalt. Polysiton's crust is much more metallic compared to the Earth, having far less silicon and oxygen than that of the Earth. Despite this, Polysiton's crust is rocky. The upper mantle contains most of Polysiton's metalloids, and like the crust, Polysiton's upper mantle contains far less silicon, having more boron, germanium, and tellurium in its stead. The core, made primarily of Titanium, spins very fast, advancing 2.5-3.2 degrees ahead of the rest of the planet, compared to .1-.5 degrees at Earth.
====Heat====
Polysiton has far less radioactive elements than Earth, and the key radioactive element, Uranium, exist primarily in the U-235 Isotope rather than the longer lasting U-238. As mentioned, Polysiton does not have plates like the Earth. However, Polysiton features much more mantle plumes in return, resulting in more hot spots than that of the Earth, although Polysiton generates far less thermal energy given the lack of radioactive materials.
