biomass originated from the African bush babies who often had no gasoline so the lighted there crap on fire. that lit on fire crap was used for explosives and cooking food. I have a masters degree in this subject. ; )

∙ 11y agoBiomass is any organic material (plants, wood, food scraps) that is burnt to generate electricity. This is done in an ordinary power station, using steam to spin an electricity turbine. So the original source is the tree, or the vegetation here it came from.
The original energy source of biomass is the sun.

What is the original source of energy on the Earth?
The sun.
Is timber a fossil fuel?
No, it is not an example of a fossil fuel. Wood, although it is a renewable resource, is also not a renewable fuel source for the simple reason that use as a major fuel source would quickly outstrip our ability to replenish it. Evidence: the world wide destruction of rain forests and woodlands.

Wood leaves and manure belong to a group of renewable energy sources called what?
The term Biomass refers to biological material, usually plant-derived materials. Biomass is a generic term however and can refer to any material that was of biological origin. One normally requires that the material retain the basic organic make up of the living organism, this coal is not considered biomass but dead plants are biomass. Coal has been substantially changed chemically since it was biomass millions of years ago. Manure can be considered biomass since it can retain a large portion of the original chemical makeup of the plants which were the original source. Biomass is relevant to renewable energy because it sometimes contains a substantial amount of chemical energy that was present in the original biological organism. When you burn a log, you get energy from biomass. Many forms of biomass are not useful as a potential source of energy. Bacteria and fungi constitute a large fraction of the currently living biomass on Earth and there is no practical plan to collect it for use as biofuel, but that is an active area of research.
What is the ultimate source of energy of biomass?
The sun. Biomass could not have grown without sunlight.
