Best Answer

Many blocks turn into something else when they are broken - smooth stone turns to cobblestone, dirt with grass turns into regular dirt, diamond ore turns to diamonds, for example.

What silk touch does is lets you mine the original block without it turning into the broken version. So you'll be mining and collecting smooth stone, dirt with grass and blocks of diamond ore.

The previous information was incorrect, so here is what you can do.

Go outside, or where grass is, and harvest the grass with the pickaxe - yes, the pickaxe (with silk touch)! This will give you the grass block.
