Here's a down to earth message for yall horny folk:
Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Their
appearance as a common plant was in the mid-Cretaceous period. The
re are 12,000 species now.[3] A common kind of grass is used to cover
the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color
green. That is because they are wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated,
so they do not have to attract insects. Green is the best colour for photosynthesis.
Grasslands such as savannah and prairie are where grasses are dominant.
They cover 40.5% of the land area of the Earth, but not Greenland and Antarctica
.[4] Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. They include the "grass"
of the family Poaceae, which are called grass by ordinary people. This family
is also called the Gramineae, and includes some of the sedges (Cyperaceae)
and the rushes (Juncaceae).[5] These three families are not very closely
related, though all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are
similar adaptations to a similar life-style. With about 780 genera and about
12,000 species,[3] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family. Only the Asteraceae,
Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae have more species.[6] The true grasses include
cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include
food (as grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatch, paper,
fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf[broken anchor], basket weaving and many others
. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass
family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very dry or cold.
There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not
members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut.
Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals,
such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants,
grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.
[7] This is part of the reason why the plants are so successful. Without grass, more soil might wash away
into rivers (erosion).
Go touch some grass ya weirdos (but like if you read all that you deserve a medal)
