I found multiple pieces of this rock which each vary in size but the shape and structure is the same. There is banding and in the middle of each is a cellular structure looking material. Is this some sort of plant? I am in Mississippian strata Indiana USA

It looks like it may be wood, but some wood fossils are difficult to diagnose from photos alone. I'm leaning towards yes, but let's let a few others chime in.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Looks more like a concretion that is hollowed out.
