Grass is a type of plant. Bamboo is a grass, you wouldn't say it's native to the US or to Europe

Actually some bamboo is native to the Americas.

Is cane actually bamboo? I thought it was more like sugar

Huh, TIL. I stand corrected, I guess.

I suppose I assumed cane and sugar cane were more closely related and I already knew sugar cane wasn't bamboo.

I only learned about US bamboo last year.
