    1. Grasses have distinct morphological features including hollow jointed stems called culms, leaves with sheaths that enclose the culm and blades that extend away, and underground structures like rhizomes and stolons. 2. Grass leaves have identifiable structures like the ligule, auricles, and flag leaf. Their inflorescences take forms like spikes, panicles, and racemes and are made up of spikelets containing florets. 3. Grasses can grow via caespitose, rhizomatous, or stoloniferous habits and many perennials have persistent root crowns.
