Grass

Grass are versatile and robust, thriving in various environments from savannas to forests. Characterized by slender, jointed stems and flat, linear leaves, they often form dense clumps or tussocks. Their flexibility allows them to adapt to wind and grazing, while their widespread root systems help exploit nutrients and stabilize soil, aiding grass's resilience and widespread distribution.
