It is a soft, white candy that is spongy in texture. Today's marshmallows are a mixture of corn syrup or sugar, gelatin, gum arabic and flavoring.
Marshmallows used to be made using the sap of the marsh mallow (althea officinalis) for its thickener. The marsh mallow is a plant that grows in salt-marshes, and on banks near large bodies of water. Here is a weblink to a picture of it:

Marshmallow is a combination of several ingredients, but originally, it was made from the "sap" of a mallow root.
