Paper is named for papyrus, a reedlike plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more that 5,000 years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2,000 years ago.
A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, not unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colors; resins may add weight and texture.
