Dandelion is a herbaceous plant with a rosette of leaves and a spherical, sunlit-yellow flower head that becomes a white, fluffy seed ball. The term also refers to the plant’s common Eurasian roots and its cheerful, ubiquitous presence in lawns and fields. As a word, it blends soft-d/dee sounds with a two-syllable rhythm, often mispronounced due to its French-derived structure.
