  You ever think about how corn is just really tall grass.

      Wheat, rice, barley, rye, corn, millet… Even bamboo is grass!

      Well done grass. You really won this round.

        We thought we were the ones domesticating grass when we invented agriculture, but the grass isn't the one that stopped moving around all the time

      Upvote because the thought of rolling fields of bananas made me happy.

        I don’t know if you knew this but the banana tree isn’t a tree, but actually some kind of giant grass. So a field of bananas trees is technically a field of grass.

      No. While corn truly is in the Poaceae, bananas are in the Musaceae. They are not even in the Poales! They are in fact more closely related to ginger and bird of paradise plants (all in the Zingiberales).
