tussocks
Thick grass clusters
Tussocks are clumps or tufts of grass or sedge growing in dense bunches, typically in wet or boggy ground.
The individual mounds create uneven terrain that's difficult to walk across: We picked our way through the tussocks of the marsh.
Tussock grass refers to various species that grow in this clumped pattern.
