A Seder of which eating bitter herbs is just a small part.
yes.that's why it's called a bitter herb. Most Jews use horseradish for this part of the Passover ritual meal.
To remind the Jews the bitter years their nation experienced while being enslaved in Egypt.
The meal was called the Passover or Pessach and involved both lamb, bitter herbs and unleavened bread, as indeed it still does today.
The bitter herbs (maror) symbolize the harsh slavery which the Israelites suffered in Egypt.See also the Related Link.More about Passover and its symbolic foods
On the night of passover Jewish people eat bitter herbs to remember when the Iseralites were slaves in egypt (bitter herbs because it was a bitter part of their life) hope this helped :)
THE MAROR or "Bitter Herbs" (usually horseradish) is placed in the middle of the Seder dish and symbolises the Jew's' bitter suffering under the Egyptian yoke. directly below is the chazoreth, another piece of bitter herbs (or radish) commemorating the custom of eating maror sandwiched between two pieces of the matzoh. Hope i helped! If you didn't understand here is the simple version: symbolises the Jew's' bitter suffering under the Egyptian yoke. :)

Maror is the bitter herbs which we eat in the Passover Seder meal (Exodus ch.12) to commemorate the bitterness (Exodus ch.1) of the Egyptian slavery.
One creative way to incorporate bitter vegetables into a delicious and balanced meal is by roasting them with a mix of sweet and savory ingredients, such as honey, balsamic vinegar, and herbs. Another idea is to saut bitter vegetables with garlic, onions, and a splash of citrus juice to balance out the bitterness. Additionally, you can try pickling or fermenting bitter vegetables to add a tangy flavor to your dishes.
The root of life (bitter root). This is the root which the Maror (horseradish) is grinded from to represent the bitterness of tears which were fallen during slavery in Egypt. As the forefathers in Israel experienced that the root of life can often be bitter it sits on the plate as a reminder and to point to the redemption of God.
