vegetable matter
Organic plant stuff
Vegetable matter is organic material derived from plants—leaves, stems, roots, seeds, and other plant tissues.
The term appears in scientific, legal, and agricultural contexts where precision matters: The compost contained mostly vegetable matter.
It distinguishes plant-based material from animal matter or mineral substances.
In forensics or customs inspection, vegetable matter may refer to unidentified plant debris.
