Plywood is a type of engineered wood product created by gluing thin sheets of wood, known as veneers, together in layers, with the grain of each layer typically oriented at right angles to the layer above and below it. This layering process provides enhanced strength and stability, diminishing the chances of warping that can occur with solid wood. The construction of plywood allows it to handle various stresses and makes it a favored material for many applications, including furniture, cabinetry, and building structures.

In contrast, solid pieces of wood sawn from logs, referred to in one of the choices, do not exhibit the same layered construction or benefits associated with plywood. Similarly, while plywood can be made from various types of wood, it is not classified as a type of softwood in itself, as that designation refers specifically to the species of wood used. Lastly, treated lumber pertains to wood that has undergone a chemical process for protection against decay and insect damage, which is not a characteristic relevant to plywood.
