It's a vegetable. Each piece is the sprout of a seed: 'mustard cress' is the sprouts of mustard seeds. The stem is white because no chlorophyll has been formed and the two 'leaves' at the top are not true leaves but cotyledons, the starch energy stores that were folded up inside the seed before it germinated.
