no-till farming
No, a sugar plant is not round. It typically consists of tall stalks with long leaves growing from them. Sugar is harvested from the stalks of certain types of plants, such as sugarcane or sugar beets.
Stalks are structures that support the pollen grains in flowers. They connect the pollen grains to the anther, where the pollen is produced, and help in the dispersal of pollen for plant reproduction.
Straw is the dried stalks of plants like wheat or oats, so yes, at one time straw was a living plant.
The oblong support cells in young green stems or leaf stalks are collenchyma cells. They provide structural support to the plant and have thickened cell walls, especially at the corners where they join. Collenchyma cells are found just beneath the epidermis in areas that need flexibility and mechanical support.
A stem or stalk typically holds up the flower in most plants. This part of the plant provides support for the flower to remain upright and accessible for pollination. Some plants may also have specialized structures such as bracts or peduncles to hold up the flower.
Many farmers throughout agricultural areas of the US follow this practice.
Conservation tillage. This practice helps to protect the soil from erosion by keeping plant residue on the field surface, which can reduce runoff and improve soil health.
Leaving plant stalks in the field to prevent erosion is called "conservation tillage" or "mulch tillage." This practice creates a protective layer that helps retain moisture, reduces soil erosion, and improves soil health by providing organic matter back into the soil.
fall plant with tall stalks
The small stalks that appear around the base of the plant are called tillers, or more commonly suckers. They are a genetic remnant of corn's early history as a grass plant. In commercial field corn they have largely been bred out, but sweet corn varieties can show them more frequently. They are harmless and neither add to nor take away from the plant's productivity. Some people remove them, thinking they can help the plant produce more, but I generally recommend against the practice, because it creates an injury site on the plant which can allow diseases to enter.
No-till or reduced-till farming, fallowing, etc.
That dependes on the plant. With celery, you'd be eating the stalks, while with lettuce, you'd be eating leaves.

The plant is Golden Corn

Rhubarb is the whole plant. You eat the stalks of the plant.
In its stem..... celery is a stem!
