Plant fiber refers to the structural material derived from crops cultivated specifically for their high cellulose content, used traditionally in textiles, paper, and rope production. In plant science, understanding fiber biosynthesis and composition is central to research on cell wall development, mechanical strength, and how plants achieve structural integrity. This field has expanded into applied research on biocomposites and sustainable materials, making plant fiber a key focus at the intersection of fundamental plant biology and materials science.
