Why is it feminine?
Zanahoria is feminine because it derives from the Arabic word "isfiryya" (or similar variants), which was grammatically feminine, and this gender was preserved when the word was adopted into Spanish during the medieval period when Arabic significantly influenced the language. Like many Arabic loanwords in Spanish, it retained its original gender classification rather than following typical Spanish noun patterns.
