Descending from terrestrial plants, seagrasses have evolved adaptations to survive in marine environments. The adaptation to saltwater is most important since most land plants cannot tolerate even small amounts of salt. This salinity tolerance differs among species of seagrasses, resulting in zonation patterns. In response to high wave energy environments, seagrasses evolved well-developed horizontal stems, referred to as rhizomes. Blades grow directly from the rhizome or from branches originating at the rhizome. Roots extending from the rhizome also assist in anchoring and taking up dissolved nutrients. The ribbon-shaped grass blades are flexible, bending with any water movement. Air spaces extending through the blades, rhizomes, and roots provide flotation and reparations mechanisms.

I live in Belize and the seagrass that washes up on the beach is collected and used as either compost in gardens or used as fill. Also the seagrass is a good base for reconstructing a beach which has been damaged by erosion. Spread the seagrass around the beach you wish to rebuild, let it compact down and dry out a bit then cover it with sand, it's considerably more resilient to erosion than just dumping more and more sand.

Seagrass is a flowering plant that lives close to the sea. The best way to care for seagrass is to keep it close to fully saline environments, like large bodies of sea water.
A seagrass bed is a large number of sea weed plants in the same area of the ocean. Because of the large number of plants, at the top of the water it looks like a bed, hence the "seagrass" bed.
