It is from onion family.please visit the above site.
It's an onion, and it looks like a jumbo version of a chive. They're rather long and thick. Ask your grocer to point it out, or do a google search under images.
Its like a long thin onion, white at the bottom and green at the top. Like a giant spring onion. Over- rated vegetable.

Use Google Images. It's a very useful site.
All are right. But unlike the green or spring onions, you cannot eat the green tops. They are quite bitter. Only eat the white part, discarding the top where they just begin to turn dk green. Because of the nature of the layers of the leek that push up through dirt, they are full of soil and very hard to clean. Slit the white bottoms up to where it is turning green, after removing the root. Then in a full sink of water hold on to the tops and swish out the dirt. You may have to repeat if they are very dirty. The dirt falls away to the bottom of sink and your vegie is clean and grit free.
Here are a few pictures:
