For what purpose bamboo is used ?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Bamboo are evergreen perennial flowering plants in the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae.

In bamboo there is absence of secondary growth, dicotyledonous woody xylem, due to which the stem of bamboo grows in a columnar fashion rather than tapering. As in other grasses, the internodal vascular bundles in the cross-section are scattered throughout the bamboo stem instead of in a cylindrical arrangement.
