Sonth is dried ginger — the same plant as fresh ginger, treated in Ayurveda as a distinct substance with a different character. Drying converts some of the gingerols to shogaols, so the chemistry genuinely does change; it is not only a matter of tradition.
Dried ginger is considered warmer and more penetrating than fresh, and is used where fresh ginger would be considered too light for the job.
