Biomass

Biomass is made up of two words: bio, which means "living," and mass, which means "weight." You may use biomass as technical terminology to describe the entire mass of living organisms in a specific area. We usually use the term biomass to refer to natural materials that may be used as fuel, such as cow dung, which burns just as well as coal.

Synonyms: Organic matter, living matter
