Biomass is anything composed of organic material. Thus, humans are indeed biomass.

I place the wikipedia reference second as it generally does not define the term biomass adequately. Biomass is not solely the measure of biomatter that can be used as fuel. The dictionary.com reference is much more accurate.

biomass is the mass when a living thing is completely dried, thus the human is not a biomass.

Humans invented the word "biomass" for ecological, environmnetal, fuel-related explanations. so i don't think that "humans" will consider themselves as "biomass"!

biomass refers to living and recently living biological material which can be used as fuel, and i think you can assume that humans are not.
