 Find out The material noun in the following passage.

bands, car tires, or pencil erasers. But this super-
stretchy material actually finds its way into tens of
thousands of different products—everything from
rubber stamps and waterproof shoes to
surfing wetsuits, swimming caps,
and dishwasher hoses. Rubber, which has been
commonly used for over 1000 years, once came
entirely from natural sources; now rubber products are

rubber to meet all our needs. And that, in turn, is
because rubber is so fantastically useful.
