The Digimental of Knowledge contains the elemental attribute of Earth , and it is this elemental power from which Digimon who use this Digimental to Armor Evolve draw their power.デジモン大図鑑―デジタルワールド研究白書 [Digimon Visual Dictionary: Digital World Research White Paper]. . pp. 215-217. November 15, 2002. ISBN 978-4575163537.

The power of the Digimental of Knowledge can also cause mutant-like evolutions when mass outbreaks of Kunemon occur. Flybeemon, Butterflamon, Honeybeemon and Mothmon are all known to be born in this way.
All known Armor Digimon created using the Digimental of Knowledge are Insect Digimon.

======
The Digimental of Knowledge is one of the first five Digimentals that the Four Holy Beasts chose to provide to a new group of Chosen Children in order to stop the Digimon Kaiser. They had it placed in a Mayan pyramid in the Digital World, together with the Digimental of Love, sealing away Armadimon to be awoken once the intended Chosen Child arrived.
During their second expedition into the Digital World, Tentomon and Piyomon lead Hida Iori, Inoue Miyako, Izumi Kōshirō and Takenouchi Sora to the pyramid and the Digimentals when they notice their D-3s reacting. Despite being the owner of the Crest of Knowledge, Kōshirō is unable to lift the Digimental of Knowledge, but realizes that Iori might be able. Iori successfully takes the Digimental and releases Armadimon and, following Hawkmon's instructions, uses it to Armor Evolve Armadimon into Digmon.

======
The Digimental of Knowledge is an obtainable item of the Armor category. Equipping it on a Digimon has three possible effects:
* If equipped by a Armadimon (including the temporary partner Armadimon), it teaches Armadimon the Armor Evolution technique the next time that a battle is won. After this point, as long as the Digimental is equipped, Armadimon can use to briefly Armor Evolve into Digmon, who performs the technique before immediately reverting back into Armadimon.
* It increases the equipper's resistance to Blow techniques.
* Like any other Digimental, having it equipped on Digimon will, depending on their Digitama line, cause them to evolve into a different Adult, Perfect or Ultimate Digimon than they would have without a Digimental equipped.
The Digimental of Knowledge is the only Digimental that the player can receive in an already complete state: it can be found in a chest in the Sea Cave 2 dungeon on Akiyama Ryo's side. Knowledge Fragments can also be found in the Detached Cave and Machine Base dungeons, both on Ichijouji Ken's side, and rebuilt into more Digimentals of Knowledge at Centalmon's Digimental Shop. Alternatively, the player may receive it by trading with compatible video and LCD games.
