You mean like fake grass?

"Grass roots" is usually used to describe something that has become popular or powerful because the average people elevated it by word of mouth. A grass-roots political campaign is one where "the people" have pushed hard for a candidate.

"Astroturfing" is the nickname people came up for fake or manipulative grass-roots campaigns, where "the people" are essentially either bots or people paid to pretend to be excited about something. Because like you pointed out, it's fake grass.
