  Yea, hay is a generic term for grasses used as feed.

  Ok, so if you pull up the entire plant, you get the roots, stem and leaves. I guess straw would be another word for the stem and hay for the leaves.

    From different plants. Straw is from, I think, cereals (wheat, barley, etc) whereas hay is from grass(es?).
