Daucus, commonly referred to as wild carrot, consists of herbaceous plants that are typically biennial, though some may not follow this pattern. They can grow to heights ranging from 30 to 60 cm. The leaves are triangular, tripinnate, and have a finely divided, lacy appearance. Flowers start as pink buds and develop into small, white blooms that are grouped in dense umbels. The fruit is small, hairy, and irregularly shaped.

Daucus carota is a biennial plant characterized by its deep taproot and robust, ridged stems that can grow up to 75 centimeters tall. During the summer months, it produces clusters of white flowers arranged in umbels, with a subtle pink hue in the buds and occasionally in the blooms. The central floret stands out with its dark red color, and it is the only flower in the cluster that generates nectar. This species can be distinguished from other members of the Apiaceae family by the three forked bracts that lie beneath the flowerhead, which curl inward after blooming, resembling delicate baskets.
