Grasses
Herbaceous plants often associated with the botanical family of Poaceae. This group of plants occupies all types of environments, preferably open ecosystems (forming dense formations, such as grasslands, savannahs and steppes), but also undergrowth, humid places, sandy and rural environments. In the human history these plants assume considerable economic importance as some genera represent some of the first crops.
