Can you swap one for the other?
Only partly. Almost all of arrowroot's flavor molecules (202 of 205) are also found in peach, but peach has 169 that arrowroot lacks. Arrowroot gives you part of peach's character without most of its fruit. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
