Cellulose is not wood. Just like a slice of bread is not a sandwich.

Cellulose powder is wood pulp. It doesn't really have nutritional value and is often used in the production of certain medicine types as well, but it is definitely wood.

That's kind of a strange argument. Cellulose isn't necessarily wood but wood is cellulose. Your sandwich is made with bread.

Partly correct, wood is a mixture of cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin in varying amounts.
