Answer:
Wasabi (Japanese: わさび, 山葵 (originally written 和佐比)) ; Wasabia japonica, Cochlearia wasabi, or Eutrema japonica) is a member of the cabbage family. Known as Japanese horseradish, its root is used as a spice and has an extremely strong flavor. Its hotness is more akin to that of a hot mustard than the capsaicin in a chili pepper, producing vapors that irritate the nasal passages more than the tongue. The plant grows naturally along stream beds in mountain river valleys in Japan. There are also other species used, such as W. koreana, and W. tetsuigi. The two main cultivars in the marketplace are W. japonica var. Duruma and Mazuma, but there are many others.

Wasabi is often grated with a metal oroshigane, but some prefer to use a more traditional tool made of dried sharkskin (鮫皮) with fine skin on one side and coarse skin on the other. A hand-made grater with irregular teeth can also be used.
it's a plant - a root actually - that they just grind up and mix with liquid
It is a form of horseradish that can be grated into a powder, which can be used for flavoring or mixed with liquid for a dipping sauce.
Wasabi is a type of radish. It can be served pickled or ground up as a sauce.
It is made by the wasabi root being grated with a hand grater or any other thing that grates. Sometimes it is whole though and then it is put into jars or grinded up into a paste.
True wasabi is the japanese root ground to a paste. It is in the same family as horseradish.

Low end wasabi powders are merely garden variety horseradish with green coloring, maybe a little wasabi mixed in.

If you can find it, it is always better to buy whole and gring it just before using.
Wasabi is just Japanese horseradish. You see it mainly as the past though. It is ground until it has the right texture, then it is used in many different foods mostly for flavoring. Although it can be dryed or pickled too.
It's horseradish that's been grated.
