Cellulofibrous

/ˌsɛljuːloʊˈfaɪbrəs/ adjective

Definition

Containing or composed of both cellulose and fibrous material.

Etymology

From cellulo- (cellulose) + fibrous (from Latin fibra meaning fiber). Combined to describe plant or composite materials with both these structural components.

Kelly Says

Plant cell walls are already made of cellulose fibers, so this word describes that double nature—nature designed the perfect combo of a stiff substance plus stringy support long before humans invented composite materials.
