Yes wood is an organic substance as it has the potential to grow or germinate or organisms can feed on it. Compare it with inorganic materials such as rock, soil which do not have organic traits but they can become raw materials for an organism to flourish.

How is petrified wood different from molds and casts?

Petrified wood is when the tree is in contact with elements and minerals that solidify it into a rock or petrified tree. A mold is the fossilized imprint from an animal or plant organism, whilst a cast is when the organism died or ended up in a rock/mineral and ended up being filled with the minerals of the surroundings over time (from the limestone as example). This creates a replica of the organism once the actual organism dissolves. This is what I gathered from science class today... So I suggest you do more research if needed. Forgive me if I'm wrong. Good luck with whatever you need this for
