They don't, actually. The true stem of grasses is very short and very close to the ground, which is mainly why grasses are able to grow back after being cut or grazed. Grasses make long pseudo-stems when they are flowering so that they take advantage of any wind or animal that passes by that can spread their pollen to other grasses of the same species, and to allow a larger range of space for their seeds to go. It also allows for easier access for animals who like to eat the seed heads, and consequently these seeds get deposited into the soil in the animal's feces.
