Pencils are not pencils or plants. They are, however, made of plants. The wood that is made from them is a plant because it comes from trees. Pencils are also made of minerals. Early pencil tips were made of lead. Because lead is toxic, they changed the tips to graphite. The metal thingy that holds the eraser to the pencil, well that is some sort of mineral. The eraser is made of rubber (I don't know where rubber comes from). And the outer layer is paint.
