"Grass" as a name has been applied to a wide group of unrelated plants including herbaceous plants whose leaves and stems are eaten by domesticated and wild animals. The word may have its origin in theProto-Indo-European root*gʰreh₁-, meaning'to grow'.[3]
Grass can refer to a green area, such as a lawn, park, or a field, and is often used for recreation or for sports such aslawn tennis orbowls.[4] Beginning in the 1970s, some sports venues have installedartificial grass to reduce maintenance costs.
