If you can't recognize most of the plants in the produce section, you really oughta be eating more fruits and vegetables. I don't really like veggies either and I still know more than 10 plants just in the category of food you can buy with a corporate logo on it.
Vegetables are often the root of the plant. Fruits are the… well fruit.
I think the context of this meme is about the plant as a specimen in nature.
Below is a picture of a carrot plant and onion plant.
If not for survival video games i would not have known.

And the carrot plant looks near identical to Giant Hogsweed because they're both in the same family. One has a delicious carrot underneath and will do you no harm, you can even eat the green tops. The other will cause you severe burns even just by brushing against it. The plant itself doesn't even burn you, it destroys the skin in such a way that sunshine is what burns you.
hogweed is hogwild. my wife has these strange white scars all over her legs, arms, and chest because she was weed whacking in shorts and a spaghetti top and hogweed juice sprayed on her. she has somewhat darker skin so the scars stand out. she does not weed whack in anything but full coverage now. the scars are slowly fading but it's been about 5 months and they're still very prominent.
oof. That was an excessively painful comment to read.
As they say: safety rules are written in hogweed sap.
