Bamboos are evergreen perennial flowering plants with hollow stems and vascular bundles in the cross section which are scattered throughout the stem.


Bamboos are evergreen perennial flowering plants with hollow stems and vascular bundles in the cross section which are scattered throughout the stem instead of in a cylindrical arrangement. Bamboos include some of the fastest-growing plants in the world, due to a unique rhizome-dependent system. Bamboos are of notable economic and cultural significance being used for building materials, as a food source, and as a versatile raw product. Bamboo has a higher specific compressive strength than wood, brick, or concrete and a specific tensile strength that rivals steel.
