JKP: Thanks for the information! Yes, the divide between stem and root could have several different explanations. Not sure why it would correlate with different linguistic features in the text, but apparently it does.
Rene: Interesting! So it doesn't appear that the B plants are indeed less naturalistic than the A plants. So I suppose it's unlikely that they represent something fundamentally different.
David: It would certainly be interesting if any significant difference between the numbers of A and B plants in these categories could be found.
Something else I think I've noticed is that long, thin, pointed roots as e.g. in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. mostly seem to occur in B plants. However, I haven't tried to count this.
