A quote from the University of Florida turf
Thatch is the layer of undecomposed leaf blades,
stolons, roots, and crowns intermingled with soil. Leaving mowing clippings on the lawn
does not cause thatch because clippings are readily broken down by microbes in the soil. Thatch
development is greatest in grass that is overfertilized
or overwatered. An excessive thatch layer reduces
water penetration and can bind up fertilizer or
pesticides. In severe cases, roots may be seen actually
growing aboveground and rooting into the thatch
layer. This is a very unhealthy condition and leaves
the lawn vulnerable to many stresses.
