Cabbage

Explanation

Solution

In cabbage plant, the stem is so short that the great mass of thick overlapping leaves tend to form a head. The older leaves surround the younger smaller, more tender leaves and the cabbage resembles a huge bud. In cauliflower a short erect stem is produced with an undeveloped infloresence. The whole inflorescence forms a large head of abortive flowers on thick hypertrophied branches. The onion bulb consists of edible fleshy leaf bases. Agave provides "Sisal Hemp".
