cilantro
This term refers specifically to the fresh leaves and stems of the Coriandrum sativum plant. In North American English, a sharp distinction is made between "cilantro" (the fresh herb) and "coriander" (the dried seeds), whereas in British English, "coriander" is used for both the leaves and the seeds.
Due to a genetic variation in some people, the herb is perceived as tasting like soap rather than citrusy or peppery. This creates a strong polarization in culinary preferences, making it one of the most controversial ingredients in global cuisine.
