Stalk fiber
example: Bamboo fiber
overview

Bamboo fibre is a cellulose fibre fabricated from natural bamboo and other additives and is made from the pulp of bamboo plants. It is not made from the fibres of the plant, but is a synthetic viscose made from bamboo cellulose. It is softer than cotton and has inherent antibacterial properties[citation needed]; bamboo clothing has become popular in some fashion circles.There are two methods by which bamboo may be processed into fiber for fabric, both developed in China. The first is a mechanical process similar to that used to process flax or hemp; the stalks are crushed and natural enzymes break them down further, allowing fibers to be combed out.[23] The other follows the process by which rayon is made where the fibers are broken down with chemicals and extruded through mechanical spinnerets; the chemicals include lye, carbon disulfide and strong acids.
