Here's a breakdown:
* இனிப்பு (Inippu) - Sweet
* மூலிகை (Moolika) - Herb
Therefore, இனிப்பு மூலிகை literally translates to "sweet herb". This is because licorice is known for its sweet taste.
You can also use யஷ்டிமது (Yashtimadhu) which is a Sanskrit word that is commonly used in Tamil for licorice root.
