the roots  

Answer 2

I really don't think this will get you any stars, but good luck.

Answer 3

Grass comes from seed. The seed gets wet, swells and cracks open. The seed sends out a root which sets it firmly in the ground and the blade of grass develops from that which with millions of other seeds doing the same thing, form turf grass.

Answer 4

grasses grow in many ways.  one is by seed.  Very simple.  The parent plant puts up a flower that seeds and the seed grows new grass.  Like wheat.  Some grasses ( like crab grass ) grow from an extended root system. It grows right below the soil and sprouts new plants as it goes.  

Answer 5

I think your question deserves better answers than it got.  You have really asked a great question.  

Grasses are not like other plants-trees for example, in that grasses grow from the base of the plant up rather than from the tip of the plant up.  

Imagine drawing  a pencil line on a grass blade about an inch off the ground.  In about a week the line would be 2 inches off the ground because the grass grows from the ground up.  

Now, imagine putting a line about 4 feet off the groundon a tree trunk..  Come back in 25 years and the line will STILL be 4 feet off the ground because of the way a tree grows - from the tip of the branches out.  

Thats why you can mow grass and it keeps growing but if you cut a tree down it does not re-grow.  

It has to do with the difference between monocots and dicots which is the fancy name for grasses and leafy plants like trees, and their growth habits.  

It was a very good question.
