Paper has been made from a large variety of materials -- from wood pulp, rice, water plants, cotton, even old clothes
to make paper -- you need fiber.
Today's paper fiber comes mainly from two sources -- pulpwood logs and recycled paper products. Much of the paper we use every day is a blend of new and recycled fiber.
papyrus
This tall plant is called the papayrus, discovered by the egyptians. From papyrus we get the word paper.
The papyrus plant is a tall, aquatic plant with long stems topped by umbrella-like clusters of thin, grass-like leaves. It typically grows in shallow water and can reach heights of up to 15 feet (4.5 meters). The papyrus plant is known for its importance in ancient Egyptian culture, where it was used to make paper-like material for writing.

The rise of water in a tall plant also depends on capillary action and transpiration pull. Capillary action helps water move upward through small tubes in the plant's xylem, while transpiration pull helps create a negative pressure gradient that pulls water up from the roots to the leaves.
