Edges back to front through something resembling grass (5)

I believe the answer is:

sedge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'grass' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'edges back to front through something' is the wordplay.
'edges' can be anagrammed to 'SEDGE'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'resembling' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sedge that I've seen before include "Grass-like plant growing in marshes" , "fly by rivers" , "Waterside plant" , "Plant like grass" , "water-loving vegetation" .)
