Nutrition & Food
Grass makes up the largest food source in the world. Most of this includes non-ornamental grasses such as wheat, barley, and rice. However, grazing grasses are also a large food source for animals.

Grass roots hold the soil strongly in place and keep it from being disturbed when water or wind run over it. The soil sitting in place allows it to settle and become nutrient rich for plant growth.
Grass is often used in the production of paper, insulation, straw, and boards. It is an essential material in many materials that are used for shelter, construction, products, and much more.
A healthy lawn of grass produces enough oxygen for a family of 4 people. It does well even after the top of it has been chopped off (like we do when we mow) to create oxygen efficiently.
As their names suggest, they are both best suited to different climatic regions. Depending on what area of the country you live, your lawn will most likely have different types of grasses. In the south, grasses that can beat the heat fair better. Whereas in the north, grasses that can withstand harsh winters and cooler spring and fall seasons flourish best.
Awesome! Now that you have gotten a crash course on grass, you can better understand which grass is best suited for your lawn, as well as the importance of grasses to our lives and the lives of animals. From the promotion of soil health to oxygen production, there's more to grass than just looking pretty in front of your house (although we all can admit that a nice green lawn is breathtakingly beautiful).
