gumpalan tanaman kering
Explanation:
Tumbleweed adalah bagian-bagian berbagai tanaman, bukan hanya rumput, yang mengering dan membentuk gumpalan , yang menggelinding terbawa angin(karena itu disebut tumbleweed, tumble=menggelinding). Tanaman membentuk gumpalan-gumpalan kering tersebut sebagai sarana untuk berkembang biak, karena bagian tanaman itu akan hancur, meninggalkan benih atau spora yang kemudian akan tumbuh menjadi tanaman baru.
