Answer

BALSA

Balsa is a fast growing tropical tree native to Central and South America. Its wood is remarkably lightweight yet surprisingly strong for its weight, making it ideal for model building, life rafts, and insulation. The name comes from the Spanish word for raft, reflecting its historical use by indigenous peoples for water transportation.
