A type of coarse perennial grass commonly used for pasture and hay, also called orchard grass.
From 'cock' (rooster) + 'foot' (the plant's seed head supposedly resembles a rooster's foot or foot-like structure). Also known as Dactylis glomerata in scientific naming.
Farmers love this grass because it's tough, drought-resistant, and grows in poor soil—it's been a staple livestock feed for centuries, and its weird name comes from the spiky, foot-like arrangement of its seed clusters.
