Default 20 Questions - round 3

The goal is to guess what the OP is thinking of, within 20 questions (as a group).

The current rule set:
  1. The original poster will state the general type (for the item thought of): animal, vegetable, mineral, mixed (to be used only when the object is quite mixed), other.
  2. Yes or No are the main answers. The OP will try to stick with those without explanation.
  3. Questions will be taken in turn. i.e. The second question may not be asked until the first is answered.
  4. If the answer is "yes", the asker of that question gets to ask the next question, they may not ask it before the previous qustion has been answered. If the answer is "no", someone else get to ask the next question and the asker that got the "no" answer must wait 24 hours before they can ask another question.
  5. The asker must mark their post with the question number.
  6. There maybe a 21st question of "Is it....", provided that the 20th question was answered "yes".
  7. If it is successfully guessed, the one that got it gets to think up the next item.
  8. Except 'point of order' posts, recaps, and clarifiactions: side discussions are discouraged.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_Questions

Sort of. All major parts in it are acquired from (or otherwise require) soil. (for more information, you'll have to ask a more specific question )
(you may ask the next question)
