Sugarcane typically grows to a height of 2–6 meters (6–20 feet).
Sugarcane plants are characterized by their tall, stout, and jointed stalks. These stalks are fibrous and store sucrose, which is the sugar extracted from the plant. The height of the sugarcane plant can vary based on factors such as the specific variety, growing conditions, and the maturity of the plant. The stalks, rich in sucrose, are the economically valuable part of the plant. Sugarcane is a member of the grass family (Poaceae), which also includes other important crops like maize, wheat, rice, and sorghum.
