plant fiber
Cotton or hemp
Plant fiber is material derived from the structural tissues of plants—cellulose strands from stems, leaves, seeds, or bark.
Cotton, flax, hemp, and jute are common plant fibers used in textiles, rope, and paper.
The term distinguishes these natural materials from animal fibers like wool or synthetic fibers like nylon: The shirt is made from plant fiber, not polyester.
