👉 A taeniata is a type of plant in the family Poaceae. They are commonly known as "lawn weeds" due to their large, dense growth habit and ability to cover up small spaces like lawns or gardens. Taeniata plants have a woody root system that can grow up to 3 feet (1 meter) long, making them difficult to remove without damaging the soil. They are also commonly found in urban areas as they require minimal maintenance and are easy to grow
