Maror is the bitter herbs before we eat the bitter herbs, we say a prayer that acknowledges that God is the creator of the universe, and this prayer states that we should eat the bitter herbs at this time of the seder. This article says that even though maror is bitter herb, the herbs that we eat are not bitter at all. It also says that the maror our ancestors ate was probably far more bitter than the ones we eat today.
