"Renewable energy can come also from living things that reproduce quickly, such as wood,..." Is wood a living thing? I don't understand why it says this in my text.

Trees are living things. Leaves with sunlight produce energy for the tree to grow (taller and bigger around) and the seeds they produce reproduce more trees. They aren't living in the sense that humans and animals do. We talk about trees dying and dead trees in the woods decompose just like we do when we die. Anyway, that's my take on the situation.
Well, I do understand trees are living things, but what about wood? Like when it is separated from the tree?
Ohh, wait I understand now. Nevermind!
Well, you gotta understand that wood comes from trees so wood is a renewable resource.
Yes, I understand that now.
