A turnip is a root vegetable. In Scotland they are also called neaps. They are often confused with the larger swede which although a root vegetable looks and tastes completely different.The turnip being the root develops, grows underground and the leaves grow above ground. The leaves can also be eaten as a leafy vegetable.

The cabbage family is not a family at all actually but I think that turnips belong to the Mustard family you should double check because I am not sure.

Yes, they are both in the Brassicaceae family (and in the Brassica genus too). A swede is another name for the rutabaga.

Where did turnip greens and other greens originate?

Turnips are ancient vegetables that were cultivated almost 4,000 years ago in the Near East. Like other members of the to the Cruciferae family, including kale, collards, cabbage, and mustard greens, they were all developed from a wild mustard. Both the Greeks and Romans developed several new varieties, and they were popular throughout Europe, especially before the introduction of the potato. Early European settlers introduced turnips to North America. They grew well in the South, where they became an integral part of Southern African-American cuisine. Plantation owners may have grown turnips for their roots, leaving the leaves for the enslaved Africans. Because Western African cuisine traditionally uses a wide variety of greens, the enslaved Africans readily adopted turnip greens. Turnip greens continue to be an important vegetable in traditional Southern American cooking.
