Looking it up, it turns out it’s an actual turnip, carved to look like this.

Not trying to downplay how cool the piece is, but the artists website says it’s acrylic urethane with real Daikon leaves:
This looks like AI, too many details in the toes, rest of the foot, legs and knees. It would be a wonder to find one such turnip, let alone a matching one
I wonder if this an evolution of the square watermelons known in Japan.
I doubt you could make it have this level of details and I think that technique cannot be used for stuff that is grown in the soil
You’re probably right, and this in particular seems to be a sculpture with a turnip plant glued on top, per @Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de
Crazy how nature do dat.
