Filé powder, also called sassafras, is an essential ingredient in gumbo. It's made from the dried and ground young leaves of the sassafras tree and serves to thicken gumbo once it's taken off the heat.

Sometimes just called filé powder for short, powdered sassafras leaf is a cornerstone ingredient of Cajun cooking, especially classic gumbo. It was originally used by cooks in the Choctaw tribe as a thickener and flavoring.
