i'm also not sure it's {bot}.  i wouldn't consider "rind" to be botanical terminology in english, because i don't think it's "scientific" enough.  i don't know this term, but i suspect that it's not primarily a science word.

These glosses from GG5 and 中辞典 work better I think. 
It's not a food term, except in the sense that it can be eaten. We don't label every edible thing as food - that's really for food-specific words.

Saw on menu.
The description in the dictionaries is a bit vague – referenced web page makes it much clearer.
It’s a common and distinctive dish during the season (the various parts of 筍 have very different consistencies – this is the “thin layers” part)
Marked as [food] and [bot] b/c it’s a plant part, but esp. used in cuisine.
