Lemma 33.26.2. Let $X$ be a proper variety over $k$. Then
$K = H^0(X, \mathcal{O}_ X)$ is a field which is a finite extension of the field $k$,
if $X$ is geometrically reduced, then $K/k$ is separable,
if $X$ is geometrically irreducible, then $K/k$ is purely inseparable,
if $X$ is geometrically integral, then $K = k$.
Proof. This is a special case of Lemma 33.9.3. $\square$
