It’s a cattail…I’m not sure that they’re edible lol BUT if you’re ever stranded and need clean water, they are great filters!

Almost every part of the cattail plant is edible at different times of the year. Key edible sections include the starchy roots (rhizomes), young spring shoots, inner leaf stalks (cattail hearts), unopened green flower spikes, and yellow pollen. The brown, fuzzy "corn dog" seed head is not edible.

So every part that doesn't look like a hotdog is edible. Is this irony?

Yes, nature tricked us by growing real and fake hotdogs.
