Many plants take up soluble silica from the soil, and they deposit in plant tissues. Silica bodies are most commonly found in the leaf epidermis. Silica body is important factor in growth and development of plant. It help to maintain rigidity in stem and linear leaves, and its content may be correlated with resistance to fungal disease. In this study, several morphologically distinctive forms of silica bodies on Cyperaceae in Korea are recognized, which are eventually classified into two groups. Silica body type of first group (Rhynchospora, Fuirena, Scleria, Carex, Eriophorum) is A-type, which is conical in shape.
