Let’s talk about Sedge baby.

This Flea-sedge is so called because its fruits look like fleas which ‘jump off’ when touched.

Sedges play a vital role in global ecosystems, especially in wetlands. They are crucial for maintaining soil stability, filtering water and supporting wildlife by providing food and shelter.
