Most plants grow from the top but grasses are different, they grow from the base so cutting or animals grazing does not stop them growing.

Grasses are vulnerable to the grazing of animals Which adaptation helps grasses avoid serious damage from being grazed upon?

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... to be continued

What characteristic of grasses enables these plants to survive occasional fires and continuous grazing by animals?

Their growth points are at the base of the plant (instead of at the top like with many trees and forbs), and many grasses are what are called "bunch grasses" which means they form from tillers that sprout from such growth points. Additionally, their ability to grow in favourable conditions that allows enough light, nutrient, litter removal and reduced competition will help them to survive and even propogate more of themselves. However, not all grasses can survive with continuous grazing. For example, rough fescue is a grass that will not survive if continuously grazed, unlike with bluegrasses, wheatgrasses, and brome-grass species. Under continuous grazing pressure, rough fescue is what is called a "decreaser." All other grasses mentioned are called "increasers."
