Difference Between Horseradish And Radish

Actually it is a root from the mustard and cabbage family. It has no smell until it is cut. When it grows it has small white flowers on it and the leaves I believe are edible. The roots below is what they cut off to make horseradish, so No, it is not a radish.

No, it's a root of the horseradish plant.
"Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana, syn. Cochlearia armoracia) is a perennial plant of the Brassicaceae family, which includes mustard and cabbages. The plant is probably native to southeastern Europe and western Asia, but is popular around the world today. It grows up to 1.5 metres (five feet) tall and is mainly cultivated for its large white, tapering root, although the leaves are also edible.
Its root is used as a vegetable or ground in a condiment called prepared horseradish, and has at times been used as the bitter herbs in the Passover meal in some Jewish communities. Horseradish, sometimes blended with cream and called horseradish sauce, is often served with roast or boiled beef or sausages, as well as smoked fish. Horseradish is also used in some prepared mustards. Also, much of what is styled wasabi is actually common horseradish dyed green. ..."

Maegical is right on. The best in the world is grown in Beaver Creek Oregon and sold in markets under the same name.
It is related to the radish family but resembles a large ginger root.
