    Emacs executes the external grep process, and formats the output. Assuming you mean the source for the code that wraps that up and displays it, not grep itself, that is pretty simple:

    M-x find-function <RET> grep <RET>
    
    (find-function FUNCTION)
    
    Find the definition of the FUNCTION near point.
    
    Finds the source file containing the definition of the function
    near point (selected by `function-called-at-point') in a buffer and
    places point before the definition.
    Set mark before moving, if the buffer already existed.
    

    You may also find find-library useful to poke around with.
