Step in rut and pull it up to extract vegetable (6)
I believe the answer is:
turnip
'vegetable' is the definition.
(turnip is a kind of vegetable)
'step in rut and pull it up to extract' is the wordplay.
'TURNIP' is hidden backwards within the letters.
However, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for turnip that I've seen before include "food item" , "what you eat?" , "Plant with round white root used as vegetable" , "Fleshy edible white or yellow root" , "Rip nut up for a vegetable" .)
