sedge

Sedge is a type of grass-like plant that typically grows in wetlands, marshes, and damp areas. They belong to the Cyperaceae family and have stiff, often triangular stems with narrow leaves. Sedges are important for their ecological role in stabilizing soil, filtering water, and providing habitat for wildlife. Unlike true grasses, sedges usually have a more solid, dense structure and can sometimes form dense mats or clusters. They are often used in landscaping and ecological restoration projects to help manage water and improve wetland health.
