Actually Michel, he's right.

While you want to argue the semantics of scientific naming; they were
discussing cooking and various tastes as they apply, not phylogeny.
Coriander and dried cilantro have different flavors.

Furthermore, your example about the carrot doesn't fit either. While the
fruit, leaves, branches, trunk, and roots of an cherry tree are all part of
the cherry tree, I'm not going to top off my hot fudge sundae with a chunk
of root. The original poster was asking for something specific, by name it
is PART of the plant not for the whole plant.
