It says cm, so centimeters (1/100 meter) - slightly less than 0.4 inches
decimal place issues... I hope. there are ten mm in a cm 456cm == 4560mm there are 24.5 mm per inch (it is the law). 4550mm / 25.4 = 179.527 inches or about 14.9 feet which is about 5 yards which is 20% of a 'murican football field if that helps
I was expecting diagrams of a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_system (There are so many plant metaphors in mathematics!)

Naive question, possibly poorly formed: what is the purpose of the parts of the plant? Eg the leaves are for collecting energy and the flower for reproduction...so is the "thing" that all that work is going to benefit really just the root stem?
Your version of the question has surprising perspective- I think you are asking what the "it" of the plant is. That's an interesting personification of a plant. I think it points to the fact that plants may be safer underground- for anchoring, for not being eaten, for getting shielded from harsh elements.

Always good to have a weed puller in your toolshed. A stand-up puller, specifically, that operates as a lever, allowing it to first grab deeply and then through a rotation of the handle it pulls out quite a bit of the root system. A lifesaver if you have a rain garden which is really just a synonym for weed garden.
Any recommendations for a particular weed puller?

The above comment was pointing out that each 1 centimeter is slightly less than 0.4 inches. If you want to be more precise, each centimeter is about 0.3937 inches.

The cancer was worth it to rid ourselves of a mildly offensive flower.
I reckon you could skip spraying it if you were going to eat it anyway. Did you know that wheat in the US is sprayed with glyphosate right before harvest? It causes all the wheat to dry evenly, avoiding the need to cut down the wheat and windrow it for drying. This means extra weeks in the growing season to squeeze another crop in.

the link is to a dandelion root system that goes 450 centimeters into the ground, or 4.5 meters / 5 yards. we'd like to know how much of that weed would your weed puller pull if your weed puller pulled a full pull?
