The silk radical looks more like a rood and the sheng radical which is on top looks more like a sprouting vegetable. Now you can see it as a vegetable so vegetarian.

the top part of 素 looks like sprouts of vegetables and the bottom part looks like a field.

The silk radical and the basic meaning of 素 are both plain and clear, that is exactly how your body feels when you eat vegetables.

I see it as many vegetables together. The top part could be asparagus, the bottom a carrot (the green part would be the silk part) and some chilis

The radical is thread in which it reminds me of plain things like plain vegetables or tofu.
