I understand. In this sentence, buried is a participle. The phrase, "buried in the mud," is a participial phrase and modifies "branches."
Omitting that phrase, you have the independent clause, "Branches are food for the winter."
What is the verb in that clause?
What is the simple predicate in this sentence?
Branches buried in the mud are food for the winter.
a. are
b. buried
c. for
I thought it was buried, but when I submitted the answer for a pre-test it said it was wrong and I'm a little confused.
