Correctly used, the term sod can apply to any dense stand of turf.

• A. True
• B. Possibly
• C. Sometimes
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Sod refers to turf that has been cut with a portion of soil and its root system, prepared in slabs or rolls for transplantation. It isn’t any dense stand of turf by itself; a dense, healthy lawn that’s still rooted in its own soil isn’t automatically sod until it’s harvested with soil attached and used to establish turf in a new area. So, the statement is false because correct usage of sod requires the soil beneath the turf, not just a dense stand of grass.
