Is licorice made from fennel?

It comes from licorice root. Fennel and anise both have the same chemical that licorice does, which is why they all taste the same. The plants themselves are not closely related.

No, its made from licorice root. The two plants are not related, nor is anise.

Occasionally fennel is used to make imitation licorice flavoring, although I'm not entirely sure why an imitation would be necessary.

There is a plant known as licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra). The flavouring comes from the root. Licorice is not related to the plants of anise nor fennel.

RE:
Is licorice made from fennel?
I tried fennel about two years ago.My first observation was its similarity to licorice. Does anyone know if there is a connection between the foods?

No, Licorice belongs to the Legume family - related to peas and beans. Fennel is related to aniseed, hence the similar taste and scent.

Idk, it kinda smells like anise.
