The characteristics of bamboo are reflected in the following aspects:
1. Morphological characteristics: The underground stems of bamboo actually grow horizontally and have many nodes. There are also buds and buds on these nodes. Fibrous roots. The buds will grow into bamboo as they grow, and some buds cannot be drilled out of the ground.
The length of bamboo leaves is usually 7.5-16cm, relatively narrow, and the width is only 1-2cm. The leaves are narrowly lanceolate, the apex part is acuminate, the front side of the leaves is hairless and dark green.
There are many types of bamboo, and the colors of the flowers are also different, including white, yellow or green, and the colors are usually not bright.
2. Habits and characteristics: The growth rate of bamboo is very slow. It usually takes 3-5 years for the underground stems to grow to a certain extent. This plant grows in patches, and its bamboo shoots and whips are edible.
3. Breeding characteristics: Bamboo has a high demand for water. Not only must there be enough water during breeding, but there must be no excess water. It also has very high soil requirements and needs to be raised in slightly acidic fertile soil.

Bamboos mostly like warm and humid climates and are abundant in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions. Bamboo is one of the forest resources. There are more than 1,200 species of bamboo plants in more than 70 genera around the world, mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, with a few bamboo species distributed in temperate and cold zones. Bamboo is an evergreen (a few bamboo species lose their leaves in the dry season) shallow-rooted plants that have high requirements for water and heat conditions and are very sensitive. The distribution of water and heat on the earth's surface dominates the geographical distribution of bamboo.
Southeast Asia is located in the tropics and south subtropics, and is affected by the convergence of the Pacific and Indian Ocean monsoons. It has abundant rainfall and stable heat. It is an ideal ecological environment for bamboo growth and is also the center of bamboo distribution in the world. The current bamboo forest area in the world is about 22 million hectares. The geographical distribution of bamboo in the world can be divided into three major bamboo regions, namely the Asia-Pacific Bamboo Region, the American Bamboo Region and the African Bamboo Region. Some scholars also list separately the European and North American introduction regions. Bamboo grows very quickly after rain.
