Botanically a vegetable is the stem, root, or leaf of a plant, the non-reproductive parts. So grass in this sense is a vegetable as it is made up of green growing leaf blades on stems.
However it is not a vegetable in the specific sense of a plant cultivated for food, as an edible herb or root and this is the most common use of this word.
Grass is usually referred to as vegetation or verdure.

I assume you mean grass like in the lawn or on the prairie. If someone ate the leaves of the grass, that would be a vegetable. A vegetable is a non-reproductive part of the plant (not a seed and not a fruit). It might be a leaf, a stem, or a root.

No, grass is a plant. But not a vegetable. Check out what the definition of a vegetable is. Grass definitely does not fit that.

GG & EL have good answers.
Another way to think of a blade of grass
or lettuce leaf or stem is that they are *vegetative* tissues.
My joke answers:
Smoking too much "grass" might turn you into a "vegetable"!
I'm vegetarian, I eat the animals that eat grass.
