Definition: Any plant.
Alright class, settle down and letβs take a peek, At the word "vegetables," what do they truly speak? The dictionary tells us, βAny plant,β itβs true, But thatβs a very broad idea for me and you! Think of carrots orange, bright and bold, Or spinach green, a story to be told. Potatoes earthy, sweet beneath the skin, And broccoli florets β let the goodness begin! We usually mean plants we eat , you see, That grow below the ground or up high for tea! So "vegetables" is a group, quite grand and bright, Of leafy greens and roots, a delicious sight! Does that make sense? Any questions to share?
