Vegetables – Giant parsnip from Korean shop

food-identificationkorean-cuisinevegetables

I bought a vegetable from a Korean food store which all I can describe as is a parsnip with the same dimensions but about two feet long.
Is there a name for this?

Sounds like Daikon Radish to me. It is commonly found in Korean supermarkets and looks slightly like parsnip. Some can grow longer than 2 feet.

Another possibility is Parsley Root. These look very similar to Parsnips but are generally not as bulbous near the top, longer and more slender.
