        Wheat, rice, barley, rye, corn, millet… Even bamboo is grass!

        Well done grass. You really won this round.

          We thought we were the ones domesticating grass when we invented agriculture, but the grass isn’t the one that changed how it lives

          I don’t know if you knew this but the banana tree isn’t a tree, but actually some kind of giant grass. So a field of bananas trees is technically a field of grass.

        No. While corn truly is in the Poaceae, bananas are in the Musaceae. They are not even in the Poales! They are in fact more closely related to ginger and bird of paradise plants (all in the Zingiberales).
