Biomass is any organic matter—wood, crops, seaweed, animal wastes that can be used as an energy source. Biomass is probably our oldest source of energy after the sun. For thousands of years, people have burned wood to heat their homes and cook their food. Biomass gets its energy from the sun. All organic matter contains stored energy from the sun. During a process called photosynthesis, sunlight gives plants the energy they need to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugars. These sugars, called carbohydrates, supply plants and the animals that eat plants with energy. Foods rich in carbohydrates are a good source of energy for the human body.
Biomass is a renewable energy source because its supplies are not limited. We can always grow trees and crops, and waste will always exist.

Hope this helps!!
