Left over stalk/root could resprout with short leaves and look like celeriac
but the two are distinct, one cannot turn into the other.

BTW I'm growing real celeriac again this year - really worthwhile
Playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order!

They are the same species, but so are cabbages, caulis, brussels, kales and broccolis.  I think she probably got some coarse leaves resprouting from the base, and maybe the roots near the surface got quite large, rather than the proper bulking up of the stem.
