Grass

The grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Common grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. The grass is usually the color green.

Many animals, including deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars, and other grazers, rely on grass as a crucial source of food. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom up, meaning that when animals consume grass, they typically do not harm the part that regenerates. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grass
