Grass is the silent green foundation that feeds the world, protects our soil, and shapes human civilization. [1] ## What is Grass? * Grass belongs to the plant family Poaceae, which contains over 12,000 species. * These plants feature narrow leaves, hollow stems, and robust root systems. * Unlike many other plants, a grass grows from its base (the meristem) rather than its tips, letting it survive grazing and mowing. [1, 2, 3, 4] ## Ecological and Global Importance * Grasslands cover roughl
