Sedge

Sedge is a family of grass-like plants predominantly found in wetlands and moist habitats, adapting well to a variety of aquatic environments. Characterized by triangular stems and leaves arranged in three ranks, they often possess a paper-like texture. Their wind-pollinated flowers typically lack conspicuous petals or sepals, aiding in their streamlined appearance. This design not only supports survival in water-saturated conditions but also enables efficient pollen dispersal by wind.
