Parsnip ( Pastinaca sativa ) is a plant species in the Apiaceae family. It is a biennial herb—glabrous (smooth) to slightly hairy—that can reach a height of up to 150 cm, featuring a fleshy, white, fusiform (spindle-shaped) taproot. The stem is erect, hollow, and grooved. It is a slow-growing plant, with roots that penetrate deep into the soil. Its flowers are pollinated by insects. The leaves are arranged alternately and are pinnately compound, lacking stipules. At the base, the leaf stalks (petioles) form a sheath. The leaflets are sessile (stalkless) and ovate-oblong in shape, often with several lobes at the base; they measure 2–13 cm in length and 1–5 cm in width, with serrated margins. The inflorescence is a terminal compound umbel, with umbels of varying diameters. There are 0–2 involucral bracts, which fall off easily.
