No--lemongrass is an herb.
Also known as West Indian lemongrass.
Soak the ground lemongrass into water for few hours. Strain.
I've had lemongrass in Thai dishes. Lemongrass can be found in seafood dishes also, probably to compliment the seafood flavor and as a lemon substitute.
Lemongrass colour is a distinctive pale green/yellow colour like the herb itself.
Depending on the recipe in question, grated lime or lemon may be an adequate substitute for lemongrass.
