All green plants have a a organelle (a little organ) called chloroplasts. These chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which react with sunlight in a process called photosynthesis where by a plant makes sugar (glucose) for energy the process is as follows:

carbon dioxide and water

--turns in to (with the aid of sunlight and chlorophyll)--

oxygen and glucose

So if grass (or any green plant) does not get enough sunlight it can not make energy for itself and shall perish.

What type of grass grows good in heavy shade?

Fine fescue grasses, such as creeping red fescue, chewings fescue, and hard fescue, are well-suited for heavy shade conditions.

Additionally, shade-tolerant varieties of Kentucky bluegrass can also perform reasonably well in partial shade.
