stems that grow from the base rather than at the tip /\
1..grasses grow very fast and spread quickly to cover a big area so even if they are fed upon by animals(herbivorours), they still grow back very fast..
2..the general structure of grasses helps them adopt to grazing for instance they have flexible stem that enable them to get back to their original positions after being stepped on by animals..
3..some grasses are poisonous for instance the lantana camara, some have a sticky substance that makes digestion in animals hard..
4..some grasses take up the shape of poisonous snakes to keep away animals for instance the snake grass..
5..grasses grow both n the surface and underground so even if the upper part is eaten by animals,the lower part can still grow back...
