Umbelliferae family
Carrot is a cool-season, biennial relative of celery, parsnip, parsley and dill. It is native to Eurasia. They are a popular home garden item because they grow quickly. Carrot roots develop best under cool temperatures and in fine-textured (sandy), well-watered soils. Short-rooted, or "baby" carrot, cultivars have become increasingly popular as carrots have come of age in the "veggie snack" market.
