the grass has a lot of roots. The grasses roots grow back fast after a fire.
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).

After a fire in a Savanna ecosystem, the first organisms to return are typically fast-growing grasses and herbaceous plants. Next, shrubs and small trees begin to grow, providing habitat and food for animals. Finally, larger trees will start growing back, completing the ecosystem's regeneration process.
Frost!
No, "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost is a poem written by the poet Robert Frost and is not part of The Twilight Saga.
The plains tribes used fire to help the grasses grow. The seeds needed fire to germinate faster and by doing this it helped the buffalo. The buffalo needed the grasses for food. Fire was also used for heat and cooking.
"Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost was published in 1923.
Meadow grasses

Ferns are the first plants to grow after a forest fire as it is a soilbinder. This means ferns, especially the Bracken fern, can withstand a fire or other extremes by gripping the soil with a vast network of roots.
Grasses have growth points that are so close to the soil (hidden beneath leaf litter from other grasses) that a fire raging over the grassland doesn't reach this growth point; nor can it. Fire produces more carbon and organic matter, as well as minerals for the grass to grow from, hence the rapid growth after a fire. Also, a fire tends to eradicate all the old growth that the new grasses would have a harder time punching through, increasing the sunlight penetration to these new tillers, and consequently increasing forage growth.
