herbage
Soft leafy growth
Herbage is plant life collectively, especially grass and other low-growing vegetation used for grazing.
The word appears in agricultural and legal contexts: The tenant has rights to the herbage on the land.
It can also refer more broadly to the leafy parts of herbaceous plants, or to pasture vegetation considered as fodder.
