There is a difference between crops like Beetroot and Swedes, and long
rooted veg like Carrots and Parsnips.
The first thing the latter do is to send down their tap root, if it gets
bent or damaged then the resulting plant will have a lumpy root when
lifted.

I always understood it was a bad idea to transplant carrots, but I am happy
to be proved wrong.

Visiting Wyevale the other day I saw they had packs of Radish plants

Radishes are Cruciferae, not Umbelliferae, and are not tap-rooted.

I know, but who would want to transplant something so fast growing.
