Is wood a colloid or suspension ?

Wood is a suspension.

The easiest way I believe to find out whether a substance is a colloid or a suspension is determining is determining if the particles in a substance separate when sitting still. Unlike those in a suspension, particles in a colloid do not separate when sitting still.

Hope this helped!
