From Your Meta Description Tag..

In case its different, then Probably it must be from dmoz..and if both are not present then it can pick up any thing randomly that suits the best to describe your page from your content only..

Helps?

In my experience for the homepage it tends to take the "description" metadata first, and if this is short it will take a chunk of the body text as well.

For deeper pages it seems to more often take a chunk of the body text that has the search keywords in.

1) Meta description
2) Body content
3) DMOZ if available

Depending on what is most relevant, Google sometimes chooses the meta description or - if more believed to be appropriate - a part of the page content. I think i even saw a mixture some time ago.
