CABBAGE:
Botany:
Cabbage seedlings have a thin tap root and cordate (heart-shaped) cotyledons.
First  leaves produced are ovate (egg-shaped) with a lobed petiole.
thick, alternating leaves, with margins that range from wavy or lobed to highly dissected 
The initial leaves form a rosette shape comprising 7 to 15 leaves, each measuring 25–35 cm . 
Heads wt. average between 0.5 and 4 kg  with fast-growing, earlier-maturing varieties producing smaller heads.
Plants have root systems that are fibrous and shallow.[
About 90 percent of the root mass is in the upper 20–30 cm (8–12 in) of soil; some lateral roots can penetrate up to 2 m (6.6 ft) deep.
The inflorescence is an unbranched   and indeterminate terminal raceme measuring 50–100 cm (20–40 in) tall, with flowers that are yellow or white.
Each flower has four petals set in a perpendicular pattern, as well as four sepals, six stamens, and a superior ovary that is two-celled and contains a single stigma and style.
Two of the six stamens have shorter filaments
The fruit is a silique that opens at maturity through dehiscence to reveal brown or black seeds that are small and round in shape. Self-pollination is impossible, and plants are cross-pollinated by insects.[
