HeyFevers,
The image displays straw, which is the dry stalks of cereal plants remaining after the grain and chaff have been removed.
Common uses for straw include:
Mulch:
It is frequently used in gardening and landscaping to reduce weeds, prevent erosion, moderate soil temperature, and retain soil moisture.
Livestock bedding:
Straw provides bedding for animals due to its dry and absorbent nature.
Animal feed (roughage):
While having low nutritional value, straw can be fed to livestock as a roughage component in their diet, especially when energy requirements are low.
Thatching and basket making:
Historically and in some crafts, straw is used for roofing (thatching) and weaving baskets.
