Sarsaparilla root is the key ingredient in Root Beer due to its bold bitter taste profile.

In the American “Old West” sarsaparilla was the most popular drink of the cowboys.

Cowboy: "You got a good Sarsparilla?"
Barman: "Sioux City Sarsaparilla?"
Cowboy: "Yeah, that's a good one"

Many people know sarsaparilla as an old-time soda similar to root beer.  In fact, the drink called sarsaparilla was made with sasafras, birch bark, and other flavours, but no actual sarsaparilla.  The climbing thorny vine that really is sarsaparilla has been used as a traditional medicine in its native Central America.
