4About it

Bamboo is a giant grass with tall, hollow stems split into sections by rings called nodes. It is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world: some kinds can grow almost a meter in a single day. People use its strong, light stems to build houses, scaffolding and furniture.

Three young shoots sit on the ground. Tap it and they shoot up a section at a time, each new section sliding up out of the one below with a hollow knock, and a tuft of leaves opens at the top; later they sink back down. With ✋ Hands-on on, pull a stalk and it bends after your finger; let go and it sways back and forth and settles.
