Graminoid

<h2 id="ecology">Ecology</h2>
<p>Besides their similar morphology, graminoids share a widespread occurrence and often dominance in open habitats such as <a href="/facts/Grasslands/T4P1kqT0">grasslands</a> or <a href="/facts/Marshes/AG0WLJ2K">marshes</a>. They can, however, also be found in the <a href="/facts/Understory/puAvRYaf">understory</a> of forests. Sedges and rushes tend to prefer wetter habitats than grasses.
