Best Answer

The main adaptation is that their growth points are so low to the ground and so close to the soil that it is impossible to kill grass when you clip it once every few days or once a week. This low growth point is also an advantage when livestock are eating grass out on pasture. The thinner blades also allow more leaves per unit area to grow while all these leaves get the adequate sunlight necessary for photosynthesis. Grasses, if managed properly, also have a fibrous root system that helps build up organic soil matter as the grasses die and grow again. This fibrous root system is also the best way to prevent soil erosion. Grasses also have tillers and rhizomes that help spread out their daughter tillers and keep them growing each and every season.
