Is Bamboo a type of wood?
No. It may be a surprise to you but bamboo is not wood but a species of fast-growing grass.
Bamboo is known for its eco-friendly nature alternative to wood because it does not need fertilizers or pesticides to grow. Its density makes this material water-resistant which inhibits the growth of germs and bacteria!
