Yes, the sea also has grass!
Sea plants
As land dwellers, when we hear the word plants, we think of trees, flowers, moss. But there are also plants in the oceans and in fact, a category of land plants, angiosperms or flower plants, are also found in the sea! The most characteristic of the flower plants is the sea grass / marine grass, which is very similar to the grass of the land. It normally has roots and shoots, as well as small flowers. The meadows of sea grass grow in depthless waters, so it is very likely to see them during a trip to the sea. There are few herbivores that directly select sea grass as food. These are sea turtles, sea elephants, sea urchins and some parrotfish.
