Taiwan Bamboo

I now associate Taiwan with Bamboo because like Bamboo, it is not clear what it is. It is not clear if Taiwan is the Original China that wasn't overrun by communism  or part of the People's Republic of China or if it is just the Island Republic of Taiwan. What is the Island of Taiwan? Is it a country or province? It seems to be both at the same time, I'm sure it is an amazing island. 

What do you call the plant fibers of the Bamboo stem? It looks like wood but it is not wood, it is in the Grass family but it is not grass. bamboo fibers can have the appearance of plastic but they are biodegradable and natural.  It makes me wonder what could be done with all the other plants that have a rigid stem that isn't quite wood. Perhaps rose bushes have stems that can be used as plastic and wood like materials? Who knows?
