While metallic networks, proposed recently as a replacement for transparent conducting oxides, show superior optoelectronic performance and mechanical flexibility, their adhesion to flexible substrates remains a problem. In this work, a high adhesion metallic network inspired by the ground‐gripping functionality of bamboo roots is developed. This network shows not only excellent optoelectronic performance but also superb adhesion to flexible substrates could be beneficial for flexible electronics.
