How can grass withstand fire?

Grass can withstand fire due to its growth habit and regenerative abilities. Many grass species have evolved to have underground rhizomes or bulbs that can survive high temperatures, allowing them to quickly regrow after a fire. Additionally, their leaves are often low to the ground, which helps minimize heat exposure during a fire. This adaptation also allows grasses to benefit from fire by reducing competition from other plants and promoting nutrient cycling in the soil.
