It consists largely of a cellulose framework with the denser carbohydrate lignin deposited in the cell walls. The living outer part (sapwood) is the main tissue by which water and dissolved nutrients are conducted upward through the tree, and its cells contain starch (which provides food for borers). \u2018Woods\u2019 is an alternative term for forest, especially in the USA, while in gardening \u2018wood\u2019 is used with various qualifying adjectives to indicate the stage of maturity of a plant\u2019s branches or twigs, as in \u2018new wood\u2019, \u2018old wood\u2019, \u2018previous year\u2019s wood\u2019, and so on."}
