The stem of a dandelion is often used for various purposes, including culinary and medicinal applications. Edible parts of the stem can be consumed raw in salads or cooked in dishes, providing a source of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, dandelion stems have been traditionally used in herbal medicine for their potential diuretic properties and to support digestive health.

Yes, a dandelion is considered a herbaceous plant. It has a soft, non-woody stem that dies back to the ground after the growing season. Herbaceous plants like dandelions typically have green stems and can regenerate from their roots each year.
Oh honey, you almost had me there! But I'll play along. The number of seeds left on the stem after you blow the dandelion is technically the number of potential new dandelion plants that could grow. So, make a wish and hope those little guys spread far and wide!
adjectives are describing words, so adjective for a dandelion would be yellow petals, and green stem, and so on...
The dandelion is has a taproot system, which consists of one large primary root, and several small secondary roots. This is why it is so difficult to pull out dandelions completely, without breaking the stem and leaving the root in the ground.
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.
Yes
You can see a yellow flower with a green stem by observing a flower that has yellow petals and a stem that is colored green. This color combination is common in many types of flowers, such as daffodils, sunflowers, and dandelions.

'Dandelion' is an English equivalent of 'Paardenbloem' [Taraxacum officinale].It's a plant whose perky yellow flower may be confused with those of catsears [Hypochaeris spp], hawksbeards [Crepis spp], and hawksweeds [Hieraciumspp]. But the confusion ends with a quick look at the stem supporting the flower. Specifically, the dandelion is unique among its look-alikes for its branchless, hairless, leafless stem.
A rabbit can eat dandelion leaves, stem, and flower -- so long as they're clean and free from pesticides, herbicides, parasites, etc. See the related question below for more info and helpful links. about the rabbit diet.
