What is Marram grass?
[[File:Helmgras kijkduin februari 2005.JPG|thumb|right|300px|Marram grass]] '''Marram grass''' is '''''Ammophila''''', a [[genus]] of [[grass]]es. They are [[xerophyte]]s, which live in dry places. Marram specialises in being the first line of land plants in [[coastal]] [[sand dunes]]. ''Ammophila'' has roots up to metres long. They find the moisture below the dry sand. These plants are used to stop sand-blow, because their roots hold the sand, and stop the wind blowing it away. Marram grass feels like long AstroTurf and feels almost rubbery. {{Taxonbar|from=Q21130}} [[Category:Poaceae]] {{biology-stub}}
