Parsnip and parsley root are both root vegetables, but they have distinct differences. Parsnip is larger and has a sweet, nutty flavor, while parsley root is smaller and has a milder taste similar to celery. They can be distinguished by their size, with parsnips being larger and thicker than parsley roots. Additionally, parsnips have a pale yellow color, while parsley roots are white.
Parsley root has a milder flavor compared to parsnip, which has a sweeter taste. In terms of texture, parsley root is firmer and crunchier, while parsnip is softer and more starchy.

Queen Anne's lace and wild parsnip are both white-flowered plants that can be found in fields and along roadsides.

Queen Anne's lace is generally considered safe, while wild parsnip can cause skin irritation and blisters when touched, especially in sunlight.

Parsnip seedlings typically have two small oval-shaped cotyledon leaves and a thin stem with no true leaves initially. As they mature, they develop a rosette of deeply lobed leaves that resemble parsley or carrot leaves. The foliage is green and slightly fuzzy, and the plants grow into long, thick roots as they reach maturity.
