Rushes are tall, grass-like plants that love to grow in wet places. They provide a cozy home for many small animals and help keep the water clean!
生息地: Wetlands, marshes, and along riverbanks.
The Rushes has long, slender, upright stems that are typically round and solid, unlike hollow grasses. Its leaves are often reduced or appear as sheaths at the stem's base. Tiny, green or brown, inconspicuous flowers cluster near the stem's tip, blending into its grassy appearance.

Rushes are "monocots," like grasses and lilies, but belong to their own special plant family called Juncaceae.
Rushes are wind-pollinated, meaning they don't need bright flowers or sweet nectar to attract buzzing insects.
The strong, solid stems of rushes were traditionally woven into sturdy mats, baskets, and even chair seats!
Rushes can absorb excess nutrients and pollutants from wet soil, helping to clean the water around them.
Rushes have tough, spreading root systems that hold soil together, stopping it from washing away during floods.
Rushes can thrive in waterlogged soil with low oxygen, where most other plants would struggle to grow.
