Unlike plants such as trees, shrubs, and forbs, which grow with the youngest cells at the shoot tips, grass plants have the oldest cells at the leaf tip. Therefore, grazing animals can remove portions of a grass leaf without stopping the growth of the shoot. Leaves may continue to grow from existing buds and from new leaf buds developed in the shoot's apical meristem, or growing point. The apical meristem remains close to the ground and below the reach of the grazing animal when the shoot is in the vegetative, or non-flowering, phase. This growth structure makes grasses well adapted to grazing, Manske notes.
