9 Marvel Easter Eggs in I Am Groot
9 "Guardians of the Galaxy" Easter Eggs You May Have Missed in "I Am Groot"

Right beside Groot's potted plant is a yaro root. If this plant seemed familiar, that's because it's part of a funny bit in the second "Guardians" film. During the movie, Nebula requests to eat the root after being captured by the Guardians aboard their ship. She says she's hungry, but both Gamora (who is Nebula's adopted sister) and Drax tell Nebula on separate occasions that she can't eat the root because it isn't ripe yet. Nebula refuses to listen and eats the yaro root anyway, only to realise the Guardians were right and the root wasn't good to eat just yet.
