Here is what it says on the Wiki page:

"Modal is a bio-based fiber made by spinning reconstituted cellulose from beech trees. It is about 50% more hygroscopic, or water-absorbent, per unit volume than cotton is. It is designed to dye just like cotton, and is color-fast when washed in warm water. Modal is essentially a variety of rayon[1]."

Why modal dispersion limits the fiber bandwidth?

In a multimode fiber modal dispersion causes each mode to have a different velocity and reach to the end of the fiber at a different time. This will cause inter-symbol interference (ISI) which means that we need to send data at lower rates in order to prevent ISI. Lower rates means a reduction in bandwidth.
