thatch
Woven straw covering
Thatch is a roof covering made of straw, reeds, or similar plant material layered to shed water.
Thatched cottages evoke rural England and preindustrial life.
The word extends to any thick, matted covering resembling such a roof: a thatch of unruly hair.
To thatch is to apply or make such a covering.
