What does SEDGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A grass-like marsh plant with solid, often triangular stems and small, inconspicuous flowers, found in wet or boggy ground.
A sedge can look almost identical to a true grass at a distance, but its solid, three-sided stem gives it away as soon as you roll it between your fingers, since real grasses have round, hollow stems. Hundreds of species grow across cold and temperate wetlands, often forming dense clumps or tussocks along riverbanks, lake edges and marshes. Farmers and gardeners generally treat sedge as a weed of wet ground, though some ornamental varieties are grown deliberately for their arching, grass-like foliage. An old countryside saying, sedges have edges, was coined to help beginners tell it apart from grasses and rushes at a glance.
