When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

yellow turnip, rutabaga
I wonder if the author had a touch of Swiss in him/her. Have a look at these. If it's not a carrot - and it doesn't look like it should be - it looks like it might be a "Steckrübe".
Hope this helps!

By the way, as far as other roots are concerned, as a cook I would understand following translations:
Yellow turnip = swede = Steckrübe = rutabaga
White turnip = weiße Rübe = navet
Parsnip = Pastinake = panais
Root parsley = Petersiliewurzel = persil tubéreux ou racine

Discussion
Your answer didn't go into the real problem: whether the Austrian understands a difference between "Karotten" and "Rüben", and when I originally wanted to grade the question, my computer ran away with me.
Pastinaken sind aber eine ganz andere Angelegenheit.
Pastinaken sind eine ältere, wiederentdeckte Sorte, die zum einen würziger schmeckt und auch stärker behaart als eine Mohrrübe ist. Sie ähneln vom Geschmack her eher der Petersilienwurzel.
Auch Steckrüben sind wieder eine ganz andere Gemüseart, sie sind in Österreich kaum erhältlich, sind mehr in Deutschland heimisch und haben wieder einen anderen Geschmack.
Es ist wichtig, zwischen den Möhren/Karotten und den Rüben zu unterscheiden, daher würde ich keinesfalls "carrots" oder "yellow and orange carrots" nutzen weil so vielleicht jemand einfach Möhren nimmt, ohne dass er auf Gelbe Rüben käme. Die "gelben Rüben" haben einen sanfteren Geschmack als rote Möhen bzw. orangefarbene Möhren, weshalb sie nicht einfach durch "normale Möhren" ersetzt werden sollten. Eher durch Pastinaken z.B.
Ich musste wirklich erst nach Wien übersiedeln, um GELBEN Rüben zu begegnen - sie sind wie die orangefarbenen fester Bestandteil von einem Bund Suppengrün. Von der Form her sind sie den orangefarbenen gleich, ihren Geschmack finde ich fad.
Die österreichisch-deutsche Sprachverwirrung ist babylonisch. Siehe z.B.

Ja - jetzt ist man genauso schlau wie vorher.
Botanik war noch nie meine Leidenschaft und so finde ich auch folgenden Beitrag nicht wirklich erhellend:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möhren
Ein Beitrag der Praktiker (siehe vor allem km62) hilft auch nicht wirklich weiter:
http://www.wunderkessel.de/forum/fragen-tipps-nahrungsmittel...
Da Fotos für "yellow carrots" im Internet so ausschauen wie das, was ich hier als "gelbe Rüben" im Laden sehe,
http://farm1.staticflickr.com/211/484624627_1a38937d30_o.jpg
schließe ich mich dem Vorschlag von wolfheart an.
Alle Klarheiten beseitigt?

In fact, I have been spending most of my holidays in Austria for the past 10 years and bags of root vegetables you buy for your soup at Austrian supermarkets usually include half a leek, an orange carrot or two, a parsnip, a turnip, some parsley and, yes, a yellow carrot. Yellow carrots may not be as easy to find in other countries, but I have not noticed any major difference in taste. So you can always write the recipe with: x yellow carrots (alternatively orange carrots).
