They range from finger size to the size of a carrot.

The variety of parsley that produces edible roots is raised specifically for
that purpose. The varieties raised for their leaves are Italian parsley and
Curly parsley.

This is not a problem because the plant is specifically raised for the roots.
The leaves are edible but there are fewer of them and they are coarser and
harsher flavored than the varieties used for their leaves.
