Cabbage, a herbaceous plant. Peculiar species of the borecole genre, best known for developing a characteristic “head” of fibrous sheets firmly entangled. The vegetables are defined by the slowness of their movement, which is metabolism, through which the water and soil nutrients are incorporated from dark roots through the phenomenon of photosynthesis. By being harvested, a mature plant is prepared for the pinnacle of its existence, and its metabolism is suddenly released in the degenerative process towards rot.
