Bamboo and wood have the same positive properties in many respects; bamboo is even slightly stronger than wood. A big difference is in the growth speed of the materials. A tree needs decades to grow tall. Bamboo, on the other hand, can be harvested sooner. This makes it part of a short carbon cycle, which means that no "old" CO2 is released during harvesting. The area where the bamboo was harvested also recovers faster.
