Bamboo is a woody member of the grass family. It, like all other plants, contains cellulose, a strong carbohydrate (starch) that acts as a skeleton for plant cells. In some plants (such as bamboo and trees), cellulose is stronger and thicker creating a "woody" texture. Bamboo, like other green plants, also produces a waxy coating called a "cuticle" that helps it regulate water loss.
