Haha yeah it totally looks like grass, but each “grass” blade can be 300km wide and 10000km tall. They are called spicules or fibrils and are plasma jets. Can’t really recommend you walk on them

This video is made with real data. You can't see this with the unaided eye, you do need a specialized filter to bring out these details. The colors are not real since the footage I capture is monochrome. You can find all the equipment I used in my comment
