Artichoke is a thistle that is eaten as a vegetable. It is a perennial plant that grows from a large underground bulb called a corm. The leaves of the artichoke are long and pointed, and they are arranged in a spiral around the stem. The flower head of the artichoke is what is eaten. It is made up of many small florets that are surrounded by a tough outer layer called the bract.
