carrot
Rabbit's favorite vegetable
A carrot is an orange root vegetable, long and tapered, eaten raw or cooked.
Carrots appear in the phrase carrot and stick—reward paired with punishment—from the image of luring a donkey forward with a dangled carrot while threatening it from behind.
A carrot alone is any promised incentive: They dangled a promotion as a carrot.
