 Grasses generally have the following characteristics:
 [[Image:Grass-plant-structure.png|250px|thumb|left|Structure of a grass plant.]]
-Poaceae have hollow stems called '''''culms''''', plugged at intervals called '''''nodes'''''. Leaves are alternate, ''distichous'' (in one plane) or rarely spiral, parallel-veined and arise at the nodes. Each leaf is differentiated into a lower '''''sheath''''' hugging the stem for a  distance and a '''''blade''''' with margin usually entire (meaning continuous and un-toothed). The leaf blades of many grasses are hardened with silica phytoliths, which helps discourage grazing animals. In some grasses (such as sword grass) this makes the grass blades sharp enough to cut human skin. A membranous appendage or fringe of hairs, called the ''ligule'', lies at the junction between sheath and blade, preventing water or insects from penetrating into the sheath.

 <!-- 2. What kind of roots do all grasses have? -->
-Grasses (and several other plants) have roots called ''rhizomes''.  A rhizome is a horizontal stem of a plant that is usually found underground and often sends out roots and shoots from its nodes.  Rhizomes may also be referred to as creeping rootstalks, or rootstocks.  Rhizomes typically have short internodes; they send out roots from the bottom of the nodes and new vertically growing shoots from the top of the nodes.

 For many plants, the rhizome acts as the "seed", and is used by humans to propagate the plants.

-Grass is also used as the main plant on lawns, as feed for livestock, in broom making, thatching, and for fuels (including biodiesel).  Corn husks are used for making dolls as well as for cooking vessels (i.e., wrap the food in corn husks and place it on a bed of coals).

 Grass is also used for making clothing (hula skirts anyone?), mats, composting, mulching, bedding for humans and for livestock, and even as a primary building material in straw-bale construction.
 It was used in rope-making by the Incas in South America, and these ropes would then be used to build bridges spanning large canyons.

 <!-- 10. Press or dry, mount, and correctly label the flower stalks or seed stalks of five pestiferous grasses that are commonly considered to be weeds. -->
-"Pestiferous" means "weedy" in this case, and you should keep in mind, that a weed is any species growing where it is not wanted by humans.  Fescue in the flower bed is a weed.  Fescue in the lawn is not.  Use your own judgement as to what is and what is not a weed.

-Flower stalks should be pressed, and seed stalks should be dried.  To press the flower stalks, place them between paper towels or some other absorbent material, then place between the pages of a heavy book.  Close the book, and if desired, place the book at the bottom of a large stack of books.  Another way to press them is to place the plants again between paper towels, then place that between two boards.  Clamp the boards together.  Whichever approach you use, leave the specimens there for several days.

 This requirement is referring to an old version of requirement 9, which read as follows:
 :''Because of their value as food for man and/or his domestic animals, about sixty species of grasses are cultivated in the United States. Make a collection of, and correctly label, the seeds of ten of these valuable species.''
-The main difference between this requirement and the current incarnation of requirement 9a, is that this requirement stipulates that the plants should be pressed or dried, and mounted, and that they be grown to your neighborhood.  Therefore, if the plants collected in requirement 9a are collected from your neighborhood, and if they are pressed or dried and mounted, this requirement is already finished.
