  • Summary

  • Grass and palm leaves absorb silica and store it in their cells, making their edges sharp enough to cut. These silica particles, called phytoliths, not only protect plants from insects but also persist in the soil after the plants die. Scientists can identify past plant life by studying the unique shapes of phytoliths in soil, offering fascinating insights into ancient agriculture.
