Paper is a material used for writing, printing, wrapping, and other uses. It is a thin material made of fibers, usually cellulose from wood pulp or from other plant fibers such as rice. The word paper comes from papyrus, which was an early form of writing material used in ancient Egypt. Papyrus however, is not paper - it is reed strips pounded together. True paper, or paper made from the cellulose and wood pulp of plant materials, was invented in the Han Dynasty around the 2nd century B.C.
