carrot

n. plant in the parsley family; long edible orange root of this plant (eaten cooked or raw)

The carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a root vegetable, usually orange or white, or pink in color, with a crisp texture when fresh. The edible part of a carrot is a taproot. It is a domesticated form of the wild carrot Daucus carota, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. It has been bred for its greatly enlarged and more palatable, less woody-textured edible taproot, but is still the same species.
