An edible root is hard maybe to recreate (6)
I believe the answer is:
radish
'an edible root' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'is hard maybe to recreate' is the wordplay.
'is hard' can be anagrammed to 'RADISH'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for radish that I've seen before include "Pungent red salad root" , "Hottish salad plant" , "Red cold salad ingredient" , "Sir had this vegetable" , "Bit of salad" .)
