A beetroot is a root. It's actually a modified form of a taproot that stores food for the plant. While the beet's stem is also edible, it's not the part we typically consider the beetroot. The beetroot's root is the vibrant purple part we eat, commonly used in salads, soups, and even baked goods.
It's important to note that the beetroot's leaves and stems are also edible and have a flavor similar to Swiss chard. They can be used in various dishes, adding a delicious and nutritious element to your meals.
