Cotton grass is a type of plant commonly found in wetlands and boggy areas. It belongs to the genus Eriophorum and is known for its fluffy, white flower heads that resemble cotton balls. These plants thrive in cool, moist environments and can often be seen swaying gently in the breeze. The leaves of cotton grass are long and narrow, and the plant can grow up to 60 centimeters tall. It plays an important role in its ecosystem by providing habitat for various wildlife and helping to stabilize soil in wetland areas. Cotton grass is also a key indicator of healthy wetland environments.
