part of speech: noun
definition: Moss is a tiny, green plant that grows together with other moss plants in very tight, short bunches. Sometimes a bunch of moss looks like a green blanket as it covers a rock or rocks. When you see moss, it looks like it is one plant, but actually it is very many little plants. Moss also grows over parts of trees and over wet ground. Different types of moss come in different green colors, but no moss grows flowers.
My sister and I took off our shoes and walked over the moss in our backyard. I like how soft it felt on my feet.
