A cell wall is called fiber because in the definition of the word it says that the cell wall is the thick covering of a plant cell and is made from nonliving fibers.It is called fiber because it is not alive so that means by fiber that is is made up of stuff that is nonliving. I hope this answers your question.

And cellulose is also known as fiber.

In plants it's made of cellulose.
I don't know about in animals. Sorry

A plant's cell wall is made of cellulose fibers. What is the purpose of a plant's cell wall?
to allow the plant to stand upright
What is a plants cell wall made of?
A plant's cell wall is mainly made up of cellulose.Celluloseis a polysaccharide, a polymer of glucose. It forms long fibers with significant spaces between. There are also hemicelluloses and pectin in the wall.
What is a tough rigid outer covering that protects the cell?

Compare and contrast the cell walls of plants and fungi?
FUNGI CELL WALL Fungi possess cell walls made of the GLUCOSAMINE polymer CHITIN. PLANT CELL WALL In plants, the strongest component of the complex cell wall is a carbohydrate called cellulose, which is a polymer of glucose.

Is a cell wall made of very tough nonliving material?
the cell wall is made of plastic the cell wall is made of plastic The cell wall is not made of plastic, but it is made of a nonliving material.
Unlike the cell membrane the cell wall is A. found in all organisms B. composed of a lipid bilayer C. a flexible barrier D. made of tough fibers?
Unlike the cell membrane, the cell wall is made of tough fibres (D). The cell membrane is mainly composed of a lipid bilayer - which means it is flexible. Plant cell walls are made of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin - which make the cell rigid.
