Ok, it's a form of fibre.  Another filler.

Cellulose
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
 
Cellulose, a linear polymer of D-glucose linked by β(1→4)-glycosidic bonds.
 
 
Three-dimensional structure of cellulose, with four glucose units visible.
(Black=carbon; red=oxygen; white=hydrogen.)
 
 
Space-filling model of cellulose, with four glucose units visible
Cellulose is an organic compound with the formula (C6H10O5)n, a
polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to over nine
thousand β(1→4) linked D-glucose units.[1][2]
Cellulose is the structural component of the primary cell wall of green
plants, many forms of algae and the oomycetes. Some species of bacteria
secrete it to form biofilms. Cellulose is the most common organic compound
on Earth. About 33 percent of all plant matter is cellulose (the cellulose
content of cotton is 90 percent and that of wood is 50 percent).[3]
For industrial use, cellulose is mainly obtained from wood pulp and cotton.
It is mainly used to produce cardboard and paper; to a smaller extent it is
converted into a wide variety of derivative products such as cellophane and
rayon.
Some animals, particularly ruminants and termites, can digest cellulose with
the help of symbiotic micro-organisms that live in their guts. Cellulose is
not digestible by humans and is often referred to as 'dietary fiber' or 
roughage', acting as a hydrophilic bulking agent for feces.
 
Not all those who wander are lost....
