If you are talking about eating wild ones, be careful.  Skirret is in the
same family as the deadly hemlocks.  Water hemlock in particular has
feathery leaves and parsnip-ish roots.  It's quite deadly.

I don't have access to my books on wild foods and I've never lived anywhere
where skirret goes, so I can't add any thing else to the subject.
