To keep it upright.
The purpose of the stem are: -for structure -to transport water and nutrients. The stem carries food and water through 2 tissues. (The xylem tissue and the Phloem tissue). The woody kind of stems have lots of xylem tissues, while non-woody stems have less xylem tissues.
it is a woody stem plant
The plant stem has two functions. The plant stem supports the leaves and flowers. The plant stem also transports water and food to the plant.
A "stem" is a part of a plant. It is a vascular structure that supports heaves or flowers and connects these to the roots of the plant. It also sends the sugar that the plant makes up to the leaves for photosynthesis

No but its mostly a stem. The Yam plant has leaves and roots but the food is the stem of the plant. If you are talking about the food, yes but if you are talking about the plant, no.
The cell in the plant stem helps the plant by transporting water and materials throughout the plant.
Since you are asking this question, I will assume you know the lifespan of a dandelion. (If you do not, then it has a short life compared to other flowering plant species.) If the dandelion's only purpose is to send out its seeds and die, it has no need to use extra resources reinforcing its stem. The way it has its stem right now is a good enough stem to support the plant for its life. It does not need the material to make a full stem because it has a very simple goal. As long as it can transport the water and dissolved nutrients to the leaves, then it can carry out its purpose in life.
