Describe briefly the structure of paper that is used in paper chromatography (short question)

Paper used in paper chromatography is made up of cellulose fibers. The fibers are arranged in a random, porous structure that allows the mobile phase to move through the paper by capillary action. The stationary phase is the cellulose itself, which interacts with the analytes in the mobile phase.
