fibre

 
   
a solid thread-like part of wood or rag, which is retained in the pulp and in the finished paper


COMMENT: The fibres in wood or cotton rag are cellulose, and this is what gives paper its strength. Paper fibres lie in the direction of the movement of the web through the papermaking machine: this is known as the grain.
