The parsnip is a root vegetable closely related to carrot and parsley, all belonging to the flowering plant family Apiaceae. It is a biennial plant usually grown as an annual. Its long, tap root has cream-colored skin and flesh, and, left in the ground to mature, it becomes sweeter in flavor after winter frosts.
