marsh grass
Boggy meadow plant
Marsh grass is any of several grasses that grow in wetlands, salt marshes, and coastal areas where the soil is waterlogged.
Cordgrass and saltgrass are common varieties.
The term is descriptive rather than botanical—it refers to habitat more than species: The marsh grass swayed in the tidal breeze.
