Grasses are plants that grow from their bases, that is why mowing your lawn does not hurt the plant.

When a fire sweeps across a grassland, it burns off all the grass but leaves the root system and growing crown unharmed (because they are below the fire in the soil). Within a few days new grass leaves sprout form the root crown and the grass recovers.

Other species of plant grow from their tips (the growing shoot) and a fire damages this growing tip (which is above ground).
