The value of Rhizomes in grass are that they give plants the ability to spread
densely (tightly) throughout the lawn area and provide a strong knitting ability,
enabling easier sod lifting. Rhizomes in a Tall Fescue give what is
normally a clump grass some spreading ability (slight repair ability).
This allows for an increase in possible repair ability over time to replace
close-by plants that may have been damaged by sport activities or by weather or
other site issues.
