Best Answer

Wood is pulverized and broken down into its cellulose form by cooking and chemically removing the lignin (which makes wood rigid). It is mixed with binding agents (and possibly bleaching agents) and flattened under pressure.

Cotton and linen (flax) are also processed into paper and have no appreciable lignin.
