In sentence 1, the word in shows the relation between two things - cow and field.
In sentence 2, the word of shows the relation between the attribute expressed by the
adjective fond and tea.
In sentence 3, the word off shows the relation between the action expressed by the verb
jumped and the chair.
The words in, of, off are here used as Prepositions.

in sentence 2, the Preposition joins a Noun to an Adjective;
