    Yes, it was due to the seeds being planted. Seeds will produce a combination of the two parent plants, and if the parent horseradish crossed with a botanically similar plant, the result will not be a horseradish. It is better to use root cuttings or seeds from a company that controlled the pollination to establish new plants.
