If I remember correctly, wood consists mainly of cellulose, lignin, and hemi-cellulose. I don’t know about bamboo, but I guess it’s some kind of woody material.

It’s the lack of lignin (bamboo uses silica as a strengthener) that sets it apart.
But bamboo is a grass, anyways.

Never doubted bamboo not being a grass. But I didn’t know about the silica thing - that’s really cool!! Thank you for telling this!
