Sod is the upper layer of turf that is harvested for transplanting. Turf consists of a variable thickness of a soil medium that supports a community of turfgrasses. Sod is typically made with grasses that spread laterally through the soil and form a dense mat. In British and Australian English, sod is more commonly known as turf and the term "sod" is mainly used in agriculture.
