Best Answer

There are two ways grass can reproduce: asexually and sexually.

Asexually involves tillers, or rhizomes, which stem from the growth point of the parent grass, and grows and expands into daughter tillers or grasses. Bunch grasses and sod grasses have this characteristic.

Sexual reproduction involves the seed head or inflorescences. Grasses can have flowers much like other plants have flowers, only the kind of flowers that grasses have aren't really flowers, nor are pretty like "normal" flowers we're all aware of. But the male parts have the anthers and pollen heads that are exposed to the outside from these seed heads that are spread by the wind or by animals, and are deposited onto the stamens of the female flowers. This is where fertilization happens, and where seeds are produced. Once the seeds have fully matured, they separate from the matured (and dead) plant by shattering when brushed by by an animal or by wind, or when they are eaten by animals. The seed then makes contact with the soil, and stays there until the right conditions come by to help it grow.
