The difference between “grass” and “weeds”.
In: Biology
Grasses are a whole class of plants that only have one seed leaf (cotyledon) when they are embryos, as opposed to two seed leaves like other plants. Bamboo and Corn are grasses just as much as the grass in our lawns.
Weeds are just plants that you don’t want in a particular place. In your lawn that might mean dandelions or unwanted grasses like crabgrass. In your garden, the same grass that grows in your lawn might be considered a weed if you don’t want it there.
