The scientific name of the hemp plant is Cannabis sativa. For millennia the hemp plant has been cultivated for its strong, durable fiber. It is used for twine, yarn, rope, cable, and string, for artificial sponges, and for coarse fabrics such as sacking and canvas. In Italy it is used to make a fabric similar to linen. The plant is also grown for its seed used in hempseed oil, paints, soaps, varnishes, and bird feed. The plant is an annual herb with angular, rough stems and alternate deeply lobed leaves. It may grow to 16 feet (5 meters) tall, though plants cultivated for fiber are densely sowed and generally reach heights of only 7 to 10 feet (2 to 3 meters). The flowers are small and greenish yellow; male and female flowers grow on separate plants. The plant's slender woody stalks are hollow except at the tip and base. Hemp fibers come from the inner bark of the stalks.

A bast fibre from the stem of the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa L. The hemp plant grows from 1 to 5 metres high in temperate climates. The fibre varies from creamy-white to grey-brown and is lustrous and as strong as flax. As with flax, hemp is either dew retted or water retted. Used as a textile fibre for thousands of years is still widely used in the manufacture of string, cord, rope and can be spun into yarns resembling flax although the cloth from which it is made is much coarser.

The fibrous stalk of the hemp plant has an illustrious history beginning with the invention of paper in A.D. 105. Until the 1930s hemp was a major cash crop in the U.S. Today, hemp fiber and textiles are imported from the Far East and Europe. This historical plant holds great promise as a renewable tree-free source of fiber which can help stop the radical destruction of the earth's remaining rain forests.
cannabis sativa is a bast fibre that was probably used first in Asia. The fibre is dark tan or brown and is difficult to bleach, but it can be dyed bright and dark colours. The hemp fibres vary widely in length, depending upon their ultimate use. Industrial fibres may be several inches long, while fibres used for domestic textiles are about 3/4 inch to 1 inch (1.9 to 2.54 cm) long. The elongation (1 to 6 percent) is low and its elasticity poor. The thermal reactions of hemp and the effect of sunlight are the same as for cotton. Hemp is moth resistant, but it is not impervious to mildew. Coarse hemp fibres and yarns are woven into cordage, rope, sacking and heavy-duty tarpaulins. In Italy, fine hemp fibres are used for interior design and apparel fabrics. Hemp is a plant grown in nearly all the temperate countries of the world. It furnishes a bast fiber, obtained by a retting process, which is used for rope and textiles. Some of the fiber enters the paper industry as waste material. The term hemp has also come to be used in a generic sense as fiber and then preceded by an adjective, for example, Manila Hemp (See Abaca), Sisal Hemp (See Sisal).
