Sedges can be found in various habitats, including wetlands, riverbanks, and meadows, and they play an important role in stabilizing soil and providing habitat for wildlife. There are many species of sedge, with some being used in landscaping and erosion control. Sedges are often confused with grasses, but they can be distinguished by their solid stems and the arrangement of their leaves. They are also important for maintaining biodiversity in their ecosystems.
