Trunk or tangled roots (5)
I believe the answer is:
torso
'trunk' is the definition.
(both can mean a person's chest)
'tangled roots' is the wordplay.
'tangled' is an anagram indicator.
'roots' with letters rearranged gives 'TORSO'.
'or' is the link.
(Other definitions for torso that I've seen before include "Body's trunk" , "Piece of bronze" , "Limbless statue" , "Body, minus its head and limbs" , "Trunk of human body" .)
