I believe the answer is:

reeds

(Other definitions for reeds that I've seen before include "River grasses" , "Tall water grasses on lake shore" , "Marsh plants with tall straight stems" , "Thin pieces of cane in musical instruments" , "Tall slender grasses of wet areas" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
