Grasses

What are Grasses?

Grasses are monocotyledonous plants that belong to the Poaceae family. They are herbaceous plants with long, narrow leaves and hollow stems. They are found in a wide variety of habitats, including prairies, savannas, meadows, and even aquatic environments. Grasses are important for their role in agriculture as they are used for food, fodder, and fuel. They also play a crucial role in the ecosystem by providing habitat for wildlife and stabilising soil. Some common examples of grasses include wheat, corn, rice, and bamboons.
