Carrot is the botanische name for an underground memory organ of a plant. It develops from the Verdickung of the Hauptwurzel including the lowest branch section (Hypokotyl). In addition, the carrot is mostly underground, can exceed partially over the ground or be completely over it (e.g. with Sellerie).

Carrots occur only with allorhiz bewurzelten plants.

Structure

Although most carrots see themselves very similar, they can have developed nevertheless from different parts of the root. One calls that morphologically heterogeneously. At the structure of the carrot the root can be involved, the Hypokotyl or in some cases also the branch basis. Pure root carrots e.g. possess the carrot and the sugar beet. Carrots, those partially from Hypokotyl exist possess the radish or the beet. In addition between wood carrots, phloem carrots and beta carrots one differentiates. With wood carrots (e.g. Radish) is developed the Xylem substantial as memory fabric, with phloem carrots (e.g. Carrot) the Phloem and with beta carrots (culture forms of beta vulgaris) concentric rings from Xylem and Phloem, and/or Parenchym.
