The word "plastic" is an old word meaning something along the lines of "moldable". Many materials commonly called plastics are moldable, at least if you heat them up (not all of them, though; it always gives me a little twinge to hear someone call a material like Bakelite "plastic" ... it will burn before it softens or melts).

What are most modern plastics made from?
Most modern plastics are made from synthetic polymers derived from petrochemicals. The most common types of plastics include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polystyrene. These plastics are created through processes like polymerization, where smaller molecules called monomers are linked together to form long chains of polymers.

What element is the main building block for plastics?
The main building block for plastics is not an element but rather a molecule that's called 'monomere' which turns into a 'polymere' by combining many molecules together (polymerisation reaction) in plastics
