Grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks.
It is made up of basic elements, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. As it goes through the process of photosynthesis, it also contains chlorophyll and cellulose. The two main components of grass are water and lignin. Water is the common term for H2O.
This plant also has important ecological functions: it protects against soil erosion, it absorbs water, it purifies the air we breathe and so on. Every variety of grass has its own special properties. The grass family, or Graminae, has about 8,000 varieties.
Etymology. From Middle English gras, from Old English græs, from Proto-Germanic *grasą (“grass”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰreh₁- (“to grow”).
Photosynthesis governs turf grass growth. This is the process plants use to convert sunlight into the energy (carbohydrates) needed for growth and maintenance. Plants absorb carbon dioxide
