What is wood made of? Does it have a chemical composition?..

Answer / Moh Sharif Khan

Wood is primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Cellulose is a polysaccharide that provides structure and strength to the plant cell walls. Hemicellulose is another type of polysaccharide that helps bind cellulose fibers together. Lignin is a complex polymer that provides rigidity and waterproofing to the wood. The exact chemical composition of wood can vary depending on the species of tree and growth conditions.
