Rockarrot — Detailed Guide
One of the four crops
Rockarrot (Rock-A-Root) is a crop in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, and the ARK Wiki adds that it is in fact a carrot. You grow it from a Rockarrot Seed in a medium or large crop plot, where one plant holds at most 150 Rockarrots at any time. The game's description: "This root vegetable seems to thrive near mammals, and not dinosaurs. As such, it can be found mostly in the mountains."
Finding wild Rockarrots
Farming is not the only source. Wild Rockarrot plants and seeds grow in the warm mountain areas of The Island and The Center, in the Highlands on Ragnarok and on The Farm on Valguero, and you pick them up with the Use key. The ARK Wiki counts them as a good food source early in the game.
Spoilage and taming
Once harvested, a Rockarrot spoils in 5 minutes, in a similar way to 
Raw Prime Meat. A 
Preserving Bin or 
Refrigerator stretches that by a short time, and the wiki advises leaving them in the crop plot until you need them. For taming herbivores, crops work better than berries, and one vegetable usually fills 40 food points. For the 
Equus, Rockarrot is the preferred food.
