It is an [[annual plant|annual]] [[herbaceous plant]], with a slender, [[glabrousness (botany)|glabrous]], branched [[Plant stem|stem]] that is {{convert|20|-|30|cm|0|abbr=on}} tall and has a diameter of 3–5 cm ({{frac|1|1|4}}–2 in). Each branch has two to three sub-branches. All the branches attain the same height, so the plant has a uniform canopy. The stem is colored grey or dark green. The [[leaf|leaves]] are {{convert|5|-|10|cm|0|abbr=on}} long, [[pinnate]] or [[bipinnate]], with thread-like leaflets. The [[flower]]s are small, white or pink, and borne in [[umbel]]s. Each umbel has five to seven umbellets. The [[fruit]] is a lateral fusiform or [[ovoid]] [[achene]] 4–5 mm ({{frac|6}}–{{frac|5}} in) long, containing two mericarps with a single [[seed]]. Cumin seeds have eight ridges with oil canals. They resemble [[caraway]] seeds, being oblong in shape, longitudinally ridged, and yellow-brown in color, like other members of the family Apiaceae ([[Umbelliferae]]) such as caraway, parsley, and [[dill]].
