The living material, Their waste products and dead parts is called Biomass.

The energy obtained from biomass is called bioenergy.

When Solar radiations falls on green plants, the energy of solar radiation is used in the process of photosynthesis to produce biomolecules.

In the process of photosynthesis the energy of solar radiation is converted into chemical energy of biomolecules.

Therefore chemical energy stored in biomass is an indirect form of solar energy.
