You can create something similar in Rhino without Grasshopper. Understanding that should allow you to translate into a Grasshopper solution for a parametric version.
Start by creating a profile curve for the “onion” shape of the structure. Twist it around the axis of the onion (to create the profile of a strand) until you are happy with the shape. Polar array it around the onion axis to give yourself however many curves you desire, then mirror the original and polar array the copy to the same quantity. Select all the curves and pipe them to create solids.
I didn’t keep the file - so I made another one, this time with inner and outer limbs. I also boolean differenced the bottom with a base slab to flatten the feet.
