This is the root of a plant, so I vote that it belongs here.

人参 / 人蔘 (Mand: rén shēn; Cant: jan4 sam1), Panax notoginseng, is South China Ginseng. The plant is extinct in the wild, so all available now is cultivated.

Seldom available fresh, the dried root is mainly used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), but also has culinary uses. It is used to make ginseng tea and canned energy drinks and is also used in soups, especiall;y with chicken, and in hotpot stocks. The taste has an earthy sweetness similar to carrot, and a slightly bitter aftertaste.
