12. Graminoid. And no, I didn't make that word up. That's the scientific word for grasses (family Gramineae or Poaceae) and grasslike plants. Basically, "grass" is defined as being an endogenous plant having simple leaves, a stem generally jointed and tubular, the husks or glumes in pairs, and the seed single. this definition includes wheat, rye, oats, barley, etc,... So no, grass is not just a common weed. In fact, grass played a important role in the evolution of many mammals on Earth. http://www.palaeos.com/Cenozoic/Cenozoic.htm .... as well as human civilization and agriculture.
