Answer 1

Grass is a monocotyledon most other plants are Dicotyledon. Doesn’t matter what it means (definition is irrelevant but a distinction between the two types is important) Physically they are different in terms of growing.

Grass grows from the base so you can cut it, graze it, walk on it and if the leaves are damaged they grow new ones from the bottom. Other plants grow from the shoot tips. If you damage these it has to recover, so it can recover. but continues damage weakens it to a point where it dies.
