Abstract
Bamboo forests are undoubtedly one of the most abundant non-timber plants on earth and cover a wide area of tropical and subtropical regions around the world. This amazing plant has unique rapid growth and can play an important role in protecting our planet from pollution and improving the soil. Bamboo has the highest growth rate of all tropical plants. After emerging as a shoot, bamboo can complete the growing process in both diameter and height in 35-40 days. The growth rate has been observed at up to one meter per day, that is, approximately 2.5 cm per hour. It can absorb the equivalent of carbon dioxide emissions from approximately two cars in one day.B amboo can be used as a biofuel, food, and for architecture and construction applications and plays a large role in the local economy by creating job opportunities. The aim of this paper is to review the extraordinary tropical plant of bamboo by explaining the mechanisms related to the growth and strength of bamboo and identifying ways to utilize bamboo in industry, employment, climate change mitigation, and soil erosion reduction
