Do you mean by Beetroot? It looks different. Please see spiked seeds.

Thank you.

URL corrected.

It is Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima:

Beet root is Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris Conditiva Group (Garden Beet or Beetroot Group) as per

No, these are not fruits/ seeds. These are some other structures. I am not able to find out from the descriptions in Flora of China, Flora of Pakistan.

I think the plant should be Spinacia oleracea only. The leaves are many times like Beta vulgaris only especially in Baby spinach plants. The axillary flowers are female flowers (male in panicles) and spines that you see are the bracteoles of female flower which become hard in fruit (in forma spinosa) and are spiny. We can see lobed leaves which we find in Spinacia not Beta.

[Gurcharan Singh]

The only catch is Spinacia oleracea is usually a dioecious plant but monoecious condition is often found, as seen in Saroj ji's plant

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24169648/

Flowers of Beta vulgaris are bisexual and without spiny bracteoles.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks a lot, Singh ji

Dear all Ji, 

This is really Spinacia oleralea (left plant, right is tomato). Usually, Spinacia is dioecious, but in your case it is monoecious (some cultivated exemplars). The male flowers are above, and the female ones below the male inflorescence covered with bracts tightly adjoining to the fruit. They are clustered together. 

Best wishes,

Alexander

Thanks, Alexander ji,

What are these spine-like structures at the base of the inflorescence?

these spiny structures are bracts enclosing each female flower and finally one-seeded fruit.
