Bamboo as Bamboo.
Introduction.
Bamboo is a grasses family. As its origin, bamboo beside as food sources (its tiny bamboo shoots) also can be used for many purposes.
It is the giant of all grasses and one of the fastest-growing plants.
Bamboo grows mostly in Asia (tropical -subtropical) and in warm places such as Central America and parts of South America.
Its stem due to its hardness is very often being used for construction and furniture material. This character is formed from the mineral silica that absorbed from the soil stored in the hollow and the jointed stem while bamboo grows.
