This is due to the process of osmosis. The water in the cells of the carrot are trying to reach homeostasis with the salt water, so the water is flowing out of the cells. This results in cells that are limp and that then feel spongy.

When you put your hands in the water at he room temperature why do you not feel cold?
If the water is room temperature, meaning the same temperature as the air, then you wouldn't feel a change in temperature. On the other hand, If there was a breeze or the air was otherwise in motion, it might increase evaporation of skin moisture and have a cooling effect.
