Grass is a common name for a large family of herbaceous plants with narrow, green, blade-like leaves and hollow stems1234. Grasses are monocotyledons, which means they have only one seed leaf or cotyledon in their embryos154. Grasses are usually wind-pollinated and produce small flowers in clusters14. Grasses include many types of plants that are grown for food, fodder, and ground cover, such as grains and bamboos
