The role of carp beard is to distinguish taste. They have taste buds on their beards, which is the same as our human tongue. Before eating, carp touch food with their beards. When they get the taste of food, they will decide whether to eat or not. Of course, there are also some carp without beards. For example, carp that cross with other fish will not grow beards.
