Pioneeroots

The spaghettigrass split from the pioneeroots, particularly a large descendant of the Pioneer Macaronigrass. Because it was larger and more advanced than its ancestor, it replaced the macaronigrass species. The round structure the leaves grew out of no longer exists, as each 'blade' of spaghettigrass is connected to a network of rhizomes, much like Earth's grasses. These rhizomes and the density of their leaves keep other flora from growing in their patches. These dense patches provide shelter for small fauna. The spaghettigrass has lost the holes located at the top of their leaves, making them resemble spaghetti noodles. It reproduces by sending a runner a few meters out from the patch's rhizome network and it begins to create a new network. After the network grows a bit, leaves will begin to sprout from the new network. The leaves grow quickly so they all aren't quickly eaten by small global genus fauna.
