 I guess the idea is supposed to be that many little plants (the real plants)
form "one" "big" plant when you look at it together.

 Beats me . . . last time I heard, the courts ruled that the Christmas tree
was a secular symbol, and therefore ould be placed on government/community

 Pita is a subcategory of bread, so he can just add a root pertaining to
"pocket" or "slit" or "two" to further specify his five-letter word for bread
