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.[1]

In British and Australian English, sod is more commonly known as turf, and the word "sod" is limited mainly to agricultural senses.
