Is this a carrot plant?
 

I thought these were carrots that I planted (in September).

For some reason, I pulled one up and the roots did NOT
look like a carrot. They were stringy and white, maybe an
eighth (1/8th) of an inch thick at most. The cube of dirt,
that came out when I pulled, was maybe 9 cu. in. of dirt.

The leaves are a good 7 or 8 inches high, I moved it out
of the container and planted it in some sand, yesterday.

Right now I'm totally confused, because I didn't get
what I expected. Maybe it's another seed? Thanks!

Not a carrot plant...maybe a type of lettuce?

What you have is a common dandilion! The seed no doubt blew in on the
breeze and planted itself in your carrot patch. You'll know for
certain when it blooms.

that's a red leaf (prossibly red oak leaf) lettuce. it is not
a carrot, nor is it a dandelion.
