Yes, a sunflower is a flowering plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family. It produces yellow or orange blooms that resemble the sun, hence its name.
Plant a sunflower seed
Sunflower roots anchor the plant in the soil, provide stability, and absorb water and nutrients from the soil to support the plant's growth and development.
Yes. A sunflower has broad leaves
Probably very few. Sunflower heads are processed at the factory producing the sunflower seeds by the thousands, and in washing, sorting, etc, a great deal of "mixing" takes place. A bag of sunflower seeds probably has seeds from dozens/hundreds of heads in it.

what is inflorescense of sunflower
When the heads are ripe: cut and tie them together and dry in the sun for a week or so. Then you can remove the seeds by either rubbing them out or by laying them on a sheet on the floor and hitting them with a stick or (clean) broom.Further drying of the seeds for another week is best. They can than be roasted or prepared for eating or long term storage.Harvesting the sunflower heads with a clean cut will not kill the plant; only the flower itself. And like any other plant that flowers, it will eventually grow more flower heads.
Yes, if you 'dead-head' or cut off the heads of sunflowers, the plant will usually continue to produce more flowers. This varies somewhat with the variety of sunflower and the bushy type will produce the most flowers when flower heads are removed.
Short answer: YES, the sunflower can be considered an herb. The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a flowering annual dicot. As an annual, it is a herbaceous plant instead of a woody plant. It is no longer used as a medicinal herb, as it was by Native Americans many centuries ago. An herb is defined as any plant used for flavoring, food, medicine or perfume. The sunflower seed is used for human food, and the sunflower leaf and seed can be used for livestock feed; therefore, the sunflower can be classified as an herb.
Yes, it is.

There is no need to do this with domesticated sunflower seed.

Sunflower seeds come in a variety of sizes, depending on the cultivar. Many varieties with larger seeds sizes suffer from weak and easily broken heads as it is. If they were any larger, the heads would break off and die before the seeds were fully developed.
