Wood is a structural tissue found as xylem in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants, composed of cellulosic fibers embedded in a matrix of lignin and hemicelluloses. As a material, wood has been used for thousands of years for fuel, construction, tools, weapons, furniture, packaging, artworks, and paper.
