What does NUTGRASS mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A widespread sedge with slender roots that bear small edible tubers like nuts.
Gardeners know nutgrass chiefly as a stubborn weed, because each little tuber can sprout a new plant after hoeing. Its grassy look hides the fact that it is a sedge, not a true grass. Pulling the leaves alone rarely helps, since the tubers underground keep it alive.
