Roots, stems and leaves, sentence 5

A dandelion has a thick deep taproot that stores food, so it grows back if you only pull off the leaves; grass has many thin fibrous roots near the surface; a carrot is a taproot too, growing down with no buds or leaves along it, while stems have buds.

Who acts: dandelion, thick deep taproot, you, grass, carrot, stems · What happens: have, store, grow back, pull off, be, grow down · To what, where: thick deep taproot, food, leaves, many thin fibrous roots, surface, taproot
